This week on The Whole View, Stacy and I discuss the claims put forward in a new documentary-style film that is making waves (hyuck), called Seaspiracy. We dive into (double hyuck) sustainable fishing, aquaculture, fisheries management, and labeling as well as the link between science, regulations and enforcement. We also share how we’re missing the boat (triple hyuck) on important nutrients and health benefits when we don’t eat seafood, bust some seafood toxin myths, discuss plastics pollution and what we can do as individuals, and finally, share what to look for in sustainable seafood.

Nutrivore Weekly Serving Matrix
An easy-to-use and flexible weekly checklist
to help you maximize nutrient-density.
The Weekly Serving Matrix is very helpful! I’ve been eating along these lines but this really helps me know where to focus vs. which foods serve a more secondary role. It’s super helpful and has taken a lot of worry out of my meal planning. Thanks!
