About Meat and Seafood

Meat and Seafood are especially high in beneficial nutrients such as protein, vitamin B12, and iron. Additionally, certain types of seafood are especially high in heart-healthy, omega-3 fats. However, there is a tendency in the Westernized world to overemphasize meat in meals — a tendency linked to negative health impacts for both you and the planet.

In reality, you don’t need a large portion of meat or seafood to obtain plenty of beneficial nutrients. Did you know as little as 3-4 ounces of cooked meat and seafood supplies over 20 grams of protein, or 40% of the recommended Daily Value? For reference, that’s about the size of a deck of cards.
