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. We were honored to be able to pick her brain today:...
At Allgood, we spend a tremendous amount of time and energy to find the highest quality ingredients from farmers who operate in a sustainable and ethical manner. In addition, we donate a portion of every sale to non-profits throughout the globe. To that extent, we're always exploring how other companies source their materials, how their products are made, what their product is packaged in, and overall whether or not these brands value larger profit margins over basic human rights. We believe that every purchase is a vote of support. Personally, we want to buy products from the companies who spur us to do more for the community and for the environment. Cotopaxi is one of these companies that we HAVE to support. Their transparent, ethical...

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. We at Allgood Provisions believe that food products shouldn't just have fancy labels and empty phrases, they should contain a standard of quality and...
During his TEDTalk interview in February 2013, Elon Musk was asked “what kind of crazy dream would persuade you to think of trying to take on the auto industry and build an all-electric car?” After all, wasn’t this attempted before and squashed by the auto industry? (check out the 2006 documentary “Who Killed the Electric Car”). His answer came down to this fundamental issue, “I thought about, what are the problems that are most likely to affect the future of the world or the future of humanity? I think it's extremely important that we have sustainable transport and sustainable energy production. That sort of overall sustainable energy problem is the biggest problem that we have to solve this century”. Not just an environmental issue, it comes down...
