Recap: Eat More Fish! Sust. Seafood Convo w Whole Foods
On Friday, we chatted with sustainable seafood pioneers, grocer Whole Foods and nonprofit Seafood Nutrition Partnership, about how to help everyone eat more, better, healthier fish.
Seafood is one of the healthiest, most versatile protein sources. In the U.S., it's also one of the least consumed of the popular animal proteins, with Americans eating around 15 pounds of seafood per year compared to 60 pounds of chicken. Why aren't we eating more?
