<p>Regarding animal protein…</p>
<p>Not all farmed fish is bad. I believe the Monterrey Aquarium in California has a web site of fish sources that it recommends, wild caught and farmed [yes, I am aware of the vociferous opposition to west coast salmon farming]. One good example of fish farming are commercial oyster operations. Also, when you can’t get a local supply, Shrimp from Thailand are favorable, as opposed to shirmp raised in ponds in China.</p>
<p>As for red meat, you just can’t get around the fact that beef and port should be consumed sparingly. I’ve been told buffalo tastes great and is leaner than beef. Omaha Steaks Company has ocassional sales on bison meat. Also, Aidell’s company sells bison sausage in many supermarkets. As for pork, today’s pork products are much much better than the meat sold in markets 20 years ago. Stick to pork white meat with few streaks of fat.</p>
