Eat Seafood, America!
Sustainable seafood is good for our health, good for our economy, and good for our planet. And seafood produced in the U.S. is sustainable seafood.” – Dr. Paul Doremus
Eat Seafood, America! Is a new campaign to help Americans stay healthy during this public health crisis and beyond, as well as support our working waterfront communities that have been hit hard economically from COVID-19.
The health benefits of seafood are well researched – eating more seafood can reduce the risks of chronic disease affecting many Americans today. The newly released Dietary Guidelines for Americans encourage people to eat seafood at least twice a week, and includes first-time recommendations for babies and toddlers under two years old.
Fish and shellfish provide essential nutrients to the body that support immune health. Seafood is a nutrient-packed food that reduces inflammation with vitamins A, B, and D, as well as omega-3 fatty acids and minerals such as calcium, selenium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, iodine, magnesium and potassium.”
– Linda Cornish
The Seafood Nutrition Partnership’s science council of seafood nutrition experts have been working for over three decades. Through their work, it is clear that including seafood into our meals keeps us healthier and happier. In addition to the strong science on the heart health benefits from eating seafood, they are seeing stronger evidence on the brain boosting benefits from eating seafood.
While eating seafood is a good choice from a nutritional point of view, it is also a good choice from an environmental point of view: seafood is one of the most environmentally efficient ways to produce animal protein.
It’s simple to eat seafood. Think about your favorite dishes and try them with fish and shellfish: shrimp on pizza or pasta, fish tacos, lobster mac & cheese, or salmon on salads.” – Linda Cornish
Local seafood has lost its place at the table – more than 80% of the seafood consumed in the United States is produced abroad, and of that amount, about half is farmed seafood.
