American children are eating relatively little fish and shellfish in comparison to meat, according to a new report. Here's how to add more

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.Fish fraud: What's on the menu often isn't what's on your plate"Seafood consumption by children has declined every year since 2007 to levels not seen since the early 1980s," the report authors wrote.

"Buy different fish, try different fish, and rotate them; that's the healthiest way to eat them," she said, adding that when kids see their parents try a food, they themselves will at least be curious about it and want to try it. Model fish-eating behavior, said Palafox-Romeo, who has been researching the diets of children 5 and younger for the past eight years. Buy the fish you like to eat, prepare it in a way you like, and serve the same to your children.

and Iranian children too

Isn't it good that they're not eating fishes full of plastic?

Here's how to add more? In many cases the MONEY isn't available to buy these items, that's why the kids aren't eating or refuse to eat. Not rocket science.

Exactly what we DON'T need right now as we are fishing our oceans to depletion.

Bc it costs much more

How about no. We dont need overfishing

I'm 27 and I don't eat fish.

Fish the oceans to extinction. Go ahead.

Well fish is a type of meat. Humans can get all their nutritional requirements from a plant based diet, you do not need to eat any meat.

Everyone should eat more fish it’s great for you

Just like the small square filet o' fish at McDonalds LittleFish and zero shellfish AmericanFastFood = AmericanSchoolLunch/lunches always in the news, shaming purposes. 🙂 Shaming and food. ShamingFood FoodShaming

I’m pretty sure you’d have to make the fish look & taste like pizza or chicken .. definitely Not fish 🥴

That's just laziness on our part as adults because fish sticks are cheap and tasty. Also here is a Maryland secret to kick tuna salad up a notch. Add in some Old Bay and Paprika

Mercury

Ya know, even as a child I preferred not to imagine my already dead and processed food items with limbs. Just freaked me out.

How about just don’t

More veggies, less meat. Better for you.

A little cute

Just say no to Sea bugs! Anyway, the ocean is almost dead and only has a few years left, why add Insult to Injury?

EAT LESS OF BOTH - the environment dying at a rapid pace

Buy fish fry fish eat fish. SAFE!

It's nasty af that's why

If the fish was not poisoned, If the fish was not over caught, If the fish was not going extinct.... I may feed my daughter more of it.

good for them

these days if a kid doesn't wanna eat your meals, he has many options to obtain fast food

Is the answer cook it for them
