y'all should check out Costco's line of cheap fish sticks, they are awesome when poor.

>99.9% of Westerners get too much omega-6 anyway. Omega-3 is what you want, and you probably won't get any from that stuff.

There's a whole complicated science to eating healthy, and it's even more complicated because not one single expert agrees on the other. There's lot of different types of fats and cholesterol, some people will tell you some are healthy while some will tell you the opposite and there are studies to prove all sides right and also wrong.

But I'd be reluctant to think that store bought fish in the frozen aisle is going to have much nutritional value compared to something you catch yourself. Though the "fish section" of stores where they have fish on ice is probably ok as that actually looks like real fish that was caught and not some factory made stuff.

That said there's nothing wrong with frozen fish sticks if you want a quick meal, just don't think of it as something that's healthy. You are better off taking omega 3 supplements.

No, it's amazingly UNcomplicated.

If you're talking about some too-smart anal retentive tracking of every micro and macro nutrient, every gram of fiber and cholesterol, then yeah, you can make it stupidly complicated. But the basics of eating right are so simple that they don't even need to be repeated here. Most people know how to eat right, they just choose not to do so.
