There is a saying about eating meat: four legs are not as good as two legs, and two legs are not as good as without legs. Among them, pork, beef, and mutton are representatives of four legs, and fish are representatives without legs. This is mainly considered from the aspects of fatty acids and fatty acid composition.

Eating meat order preferred fish and shrimp

Fish and shrimp fat content is low, and it contains more unsaturated fatty acids; poultry fat content is also low, and its fatty acid composition is also better than animal fat. Therefore, the general population can give priority to fish and shrimp in order to eat meat.

Eating meat preferred fish and shrimp does not mean eating fish and shrimp. The order of the correct meat intake is that there are no legs> two legs> four legs.
