Are the Food Pyramid Folks Going to Get it Right on Fish?

It looks like the answer is, Yes. 

Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee put out its recommendations today and they say essentially say Americans eat too little seafood and should be encouraged to eat more.

The Committee are the folks who review the latest nutrition science and recommend changes in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, you know the ole’ food pyramid advice.

They even touched on pregnancy and in an effort to quell “controversy and concern” about eating fish during pregnancy, concluded that increasing consumption to “at least 2 servings of seafood per week, during pregnancy and lactation” raises Omega-3 levels and helps improve infant health outcomes and brain development.
