Everybody knows that good food helps to keep us in good health. But did you know that what you eat also affects the Earth?

"Eat Up!" takes a hard look at the foods in our grocery stores. Where do they come from? Who makes them? Why are so many of them loaded down with sugar, salt, fat and additives that are bad for us?

And what happens to the soil when our food is grown? How much fuel is used to prepare it? What are we doing to our planet when we throw food packages into the garbage?

The good news is that we can choose food that's good for us and the Earth, too. Read "Eat Up!" and become a good-food expert!
