Often we are faced with difficult decisions regarding food and nutrition. Perhaps a fish is healthy and nutritious for our bodies, but it is also endangered. Another option might be the best choice for the environment, but a poor choice for our bodies. How do we make choices that are great both for our body and for the environment? America's Green Nutritionist, known to her family and friends as Kate Geagan, is here to help. With her book Go Green Get Lean, consulting competence, speaking finesse, and media communications experience, Kate lays out a healthy food system from the ground to our taste buds giving us a clear path to find healthy and environment-friendly choices.

Watch Your Mouth 4 easy ways to keep GMOs out of your diet It may seem like a nutritional wonderland as we meander down grocery aisles bursting with colorful packages that boast phrases like, 'all-natural,' 'whole grains,' 'heart healthy' and 'high in antioxidants.' Although many of these phrases are vague and void of any standard, what should concern us even more are the ingredients inside these products that aren't being displayed in bold print: genetically modified organisms (GMOs). It's been reported that 80 percent of processed foods in American grocery stores contain GMOs. That is a scary number.
