Take note of his interest in seaweed as food. It has great potential for interesting

diet and long term good health. The Japanese already know about this.

wakame
hiziki

kombu

dulse

nori

.....can all be used in traditional Japanese cuisine and that may be the best place to get started

integrating seaweed into one's diet. The Irish also use this valuable food (Irish moss and other seaweed varieties plus seaside marsh plants), Mainers and Nova Scotians.

miso soup:

lightly sauteed green pepper, onion, cabbage and carrot then add water for soup

miso paste liquified in a suribachi and added to stock with vegetables after it becomes warm

serve with plain brown rice and sauteed tofu with tamari

each meal component served in separate dishes

eat with wooden or china spoon and chopsticks

At one time years ago for not much money you could order a giant box of dried dulse from a company in Maine called Health In A Box.

There are companies in Maine and Nova Scotia that sell a nice range of culinary seaweeds. I think there is a reference to one of these

Eating plenty of seaweed regularly is probably one of the healthiest things you can do. I am sure there are many ways to make it palatable. Typical Asian cuisine is good for this.
