Buy freshly sliced meat from the deli as pre-packaged lunchmeat is processed and includes preservatives. (This is also true for frozen chicken breasts). Buy fresh and freeze them yourself, although it is always best to eat fresh, unfrozen food.
Some people do not eat meat on ethical grounds, but will eat fish. When the Christians came to Tibet and encouraged the people there to eat fish (the food of Jesus) instead of yaks, they disagreed. "Why should we sacrifice 100 souls to feed the village when we can sacrifice just one?" This is not to say that we should only eat bigger animals, we should eat a variety of foods. But, frankly, I don't understand those who object to the killing of a cow and not to the killing of a fish.
Farmed fish are usually overcrowded and diseased and like cattle, fish should be farmed in a humane way. Eating an excessive amount of fish can give us too much mercury, which can cause neurological problems among other health issues. So fish, like most foods, should be eaten in moderation. It is a huge tragedy and disgrace that we have polluted our water to the point where we cannot safely eat the fish caught from large bodies of water such as Lake Michigan, where I live. This natural resource should be able to feed all the communities that surround it.
Currently it is recommended that people consume no more than one serving of fish per month from Lake Michigan, because the water (and therefore the fish) is so polluted. For this reason alone, we must stop dumping chemicals into our water supply and lakes.
I recommend limiting raw food as part of The Asian Diet and people often ask about sushi. For one thing, Japanese people do not eat sushi as often as we think. They usually eat stir-fried vegetables, rice, and noodle dishes. Sushi in Japan is served with warm rice, miso soup, and hot tea and these additions help warm up the raw fish in the stomach. And, by the way, pickled ginger and wasabi are served with sushi because they are both antimicrobial and antibacterial, and not just added for taste.
Chicken and other poultry are fine and desirable in moderation as long as they are not always fried or drenched in sauce or oil. White meat is not better than dark, so rotate the poultry parts, and don't only eat breasts and wings. As with the larger animals, you want to eat free-range, hormone-free, antibiotic-free, happy chickens that are sacrificed in a humane manner.
