[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 1146, member: 1"] [URL='https://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2019/05/20/american-children-not-eating-enough-seafood-study-finds/'][B]American Children Not Eating Enough Seafood, Study Finds - 3 CBS Philly[/B][/URL] The humble tuna sandwich, once a lunchbox staple, is making less frequent appearances in school cafeterias across the nation. American children are eating relatively little fish and shellfish in comparison to meat, according to a new report from the American Academy of Pediatrics. The report, published Monday in the journal Pediatrics, explores both the health benefits and the risks associated with eating what once swam in the sea while informing parents of the safest, most sustainable choices for their children. “Seafood consumption by children has declined every year since 2007 to levels not seen since the early 1980s,” the report authors wrote. “Fish and shellfish are, in general, good sources of low-fat protein rich in several essential vitamins and minerals as well as, in certain instances, the essential nutrients omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids.” Omega-3s are known to improve brain function, according to the report.
