Tacos are the new darling of the culinary world, and they help to inspire creativity, variety and healthfulness in our kids. Not only fun and healthy as a meal, but fish tacos can help kids learn about sustainability in the seafood industry. Parents can help their children learn more about the importance of sustainable seafood on the interactive www.oceansfortomorrow.com website sponsored by President’s Choice/Loblaws, who have made a commitment to sell only sustainable seafood products by the end of 2013. The link “school of fish” includes a list of fish at risk, a ‘did you know’ section, more recipes that kids will love, and tips for parents to help even their picky eater like to eat more fish.
