Healthy Lifestyles
Chicken of the Sea, which has a history of providing healthy, low-fat seafood that naturally contains omega-3 fatty acids and high amounts of protein, believes in healthy eating and living.
Mercury in seawater arises mostly from natural processes, including underwater volcanoes.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 61 percent of adults in the United States are overweight or obese.
