People recommend and adopt all sorts of dietary guidelines!

We must all start eating weeds, people.

Too bad these are about 20 years late. This stuff was known long ago.

What's interesting is that, since the guidelines advise people to eat more seafood, this will be good news for the seafood industry.

That's not good news for our depleted, or soon to be depleted, fish stocks. It also doesn't help those that cannot afford fish. The only fish I can afford are tuna and that fake crab.

Just eat lower down on the food chain, eat less, exercise more, and you'll do fine. Eath a lot of colorful veggies too.

Fish is sort of like steak - an expensive delicacy.
tuna is great and I make some nice things with canned tuna.  People love Tilapia which is a cheap fish (I don't care for it).
I love, love fake crab which I am told is really sting ray but it is probably not good for you

At certain times of the year you can get a good price on Tuna, crawfish, salmon and lobsters were cheap at the end of last year. 

I think you can eat lower on the food chain.  I think a exercise full life where you are fit and trim from your exercise even though you eat a few burgers a week is better than the fussier expensive lifestyle where you don't get much exercise. 


We all have to die but hopefully we can live well while alive.  Your food choices should help you live well while you can.   A life with plenty of exercise, fruit and veggies goes a long way.
