Great America with Hugh Downs to Produce a Series on Agriculture and the Need for a Healthy Planet

    BOCA RATON, FL, January 31, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Great America for Public TV is launching a new series for its interstitial programming on the need for a healthy planet.

With people becoming more familiar with organics and natural foods, the Great America series is about educating the consumer on the benefits of all natural ingredients. People recognize that everything we consume these days contains pesticides, anti-biotics, growth hormones, harmful chemicals, the list goes on and on says a senior producer for the show. We need to have people understand why organic prices are a little higher than conventional prices and why eating locally grown, organic foods is not only helping keep the consumer healthy, but helping local farmers and the environment, said the executive producer. Healthy eating is not about strict nutrition philosophies, staying unrealistically thin, or depriving yourself of the foods you love. Rather, it is about feeling great, having more energy, and keeping yourself as healthy as possible " all which can be achieved by learning some nutrition basics and incorporating them in a way that works for you. That is where Great America comes in " this series will show you how to do just that.

Great America is a series that is, above all else, about information - information on the very latest topics about the agricultural industry. It features the practical solutions and the important issues today facing consumers and professionals in agriculture, organics and natural food related industries. Great America is a major source of information for consumers and the industry alike, because it not only maintains network quality production, but also provides the latest information that consumers and professionals need and trust.
