New Food Trend Finds Consumers Embracing "Conscious Cuisine" |
|
Now is the time of year when most Americans resolve to make positive lifestyle changes toward better health. Often, though, these resolutions are too stringent and short-lived. When it comes to food, there's an emerging trend of Conscious Cuisine, offering consumers a path toward pleasure while preserving their health and the health of the earth. Verlasso®, the worlds first provider of harmoniously raised fish, is part of this trend, educating consumers on how salmon should be raised, to help make a more conscious choice at the fish counter.
Conscious Cuisine recognizes that most people choose food based on flavor, but are more fulfilled when they opt for foods raised with deep respect for them and the planet. Verlasso's harmonious approach to salmon farming brings one of the healthiest and most delicious choices to consumers and balances the needs for nutrition and the needs of the environment. It's low in fat and high in protein and Omega-3s. Here is an example of Conscious Cuisine that satisfies both epicureans and environmentalists: Wasabi and Sesame Broiled Verlasso Salmon with Quinoa, Roasted Red Pepper and Bok Choy ( http://www.verlasso.com/preparation/techniques/broiling ).

However, after nearly 40 years, it’s time to take a fresh, honest look at the law and consider whether there are ways it could be improved to do a better job of protecting and recovering species.
