Choosing seafood that is both good for you and good for the planet can be a mind-boggling experience. Luckily The Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch is here to help. They carefully evaluate fishing practices and simplify choices as either Green (Best Choice), Yellow (Good Alternative) or Red (Avoid).

The Monterey Bay Aquarium launched Seafood Watch in 1999 to help people navigate purchasing sustainable seafood through seafood ratings and tools like pocket guides. The program and its scope have grown over the past 25 years. Today, their science-based assessments are a primary resource for understanding sustainable seafood around the world. They also work to transform how seafood is fished and farmed through partnerships with businesses, governments, other NGOs, and producer groups so that people and the planet can thrive now and in the future.

Welcome to Ellie's Spring Forward series where she revisits some of her most popular episodes that will help put winter behind you.

Two things are true about health and weight that seem to be diametrically opposed to one another. One truth: diet culture and focusing on weight loss is toxic. And the other truth: many people in the US would be healthier and feel better if they lost weight. How do we reconcile these seemingly conflicting concerns as individuals and as a society? The conversation about it has gotten so heated that many are left confused, frustrated and vulnerable.

In this episode, Dr. Michelle Cardel, a Puerto Rican nutrition scientist, registered dietitian, the Senior Director of Global Clinical Research & Nutrition at WW, and a faculty member at the University of Florida College of Medicine, where she is also an Associate Director for the Center for Integrative Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases, helps us figure it out, encouraging us to rethink how we think about weight, and assess whether we want to think about it at all.
