EATING HEALTHY PROTEIN
Meat, poultry, seafood, dried peas, lentils, nuts, and eggs are good sources of protein, B vitamins, iron, and other vitamins and minerals.
Avoid duck, goose, marbled meats (such as a ribeye steak), prime cuts of high-fat meats, organ meats such as kidneys and liver, and prepared meats such as sausage, hot dogs, and high-fat lunch meats.
Eat no more than 6 cooked ounces of meat, poultry, and fish daily. One serving of these foods should be about the size of a deck of cards on your plate.
Trim off all the visible fat before cooking the meat.
Eat two servings of fish per week.
Cook by baking, broiling, roasting, steaming, boiling, or microwaving rather than deep frying.
For the main entree, use less meat or have meatless meals a few times a week. Use smaller amounts of meat to reduce the total fat content of the meal.
Use skinless turkey, chicken, fish, or lean red meat to reduce the amount of saturated fat in your diet. You may occasionally eat lean, 3-ounce cuts of red meat.
Do not use more than three or four egg yolks per week, including the eggs you use in cooking.
Eat less organ meat (such as liver) and shellfish (such as shrimp and lobster)

It seems that protesting globalism is okay as long as it isn't Americans doing it.

Or buy certified American caught and processed seafood. Eating out just got harder though.
