55. A Nutritionist’s Thoughts on Seaspiracy

A popular Netflix conservation documentary, Seaspiracy, has been getting a lot of buzz lately. It provides a certain perspective on issues affecting the oceans and marine life. The documentary covers a lot of issues — some better than others. The sneaky thing about the film is that it seems to take individual pieces of truth and sprinkle them in with misrepresentation, or flat out lies, to make the delivery more dramatic. Any documentary that only shows one side of the coin is not doing a fair job of representing an industry. Pointing out the good and the bad is always going to be better received as honest, objective work. We work around all dietary decisions at Foodtrainers. It’s anyone’s personal decision to eat fish or not. When making that decision, please do research beyond just one film.
