National Fishworkers Forum State secretary T. Peter and Kerala Swathantra
Matsya Thozhilali Federation Jackson Pollayil have criticised Education
Minister C. Ravindranath for allegedly equating the consumption of seafood
with that of liquor and drugs. In a statement, they demanded that the
Minister withdraw his misleading statement and tender a public apology.
They added that seafood was an important source of protein and several
fishes contained Omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for brain
development. The consumption of seafood is also being recommended by
doctors for those suffering from heart diseases, they said.
