There really is not enough fish for everybody. As it stands those promoting to eat healthier, more vegetables, fruits, organics (blah), and so forth also seem to gloss over that it costs a considerable amount more to eat healthier over eating crap processed foods. I will agree with the high fructose corn syrup though.
If more families could actually make meals instead of purchase them, and yes even hamburger would be perfectly fine. We would see a drop in the issue quickly. Just few families are making their own meals anymore. Some do not have the time, others the money, and some are just uneducated all together about food health. Many have no fucking clue that the coffee they picked up on the way to work just wiped out nearly half of that persons daily calorie allotment.
Dropping red meat is far from the answer to and as other areas on the globe have shown that eating it and heart issues, cancer issues, obesity issues, etc are not always related to it. We do however see a big difference with just eating well, seasonally, and a variety.
