*Long story short: In this century you can't eat anything*

[isaacgarcia]

Can I not just enjoy my tuna in peace :(

[browardmpr]

This literally was the worst review I've ever seen or heard.
This guy says yes
This guy says no
This guy says eat this
This guy says eat that
What was the point of this? Lmao I'm worse off now than before the damn video!

[krystoph]

I like to drink room temperature mercury.

[asphaltcowboy]

I think she’s storing tuna in her cheek

[smokej]

Then wtf can I eat make me a list and tell me y I'm lazy and fed up with life

[camgood]

Has there ever been any evidence of anyone experiencing health problems or dying from eating tuna? I've been looking everywhere, but all I can find is "tuna contains mercury" (like every other fish). Countless ancient tribes have lived on nothing but fish every day their entire lives, and I've still never heard about a death or disease caused by excessive fish consumption. A few scientists have died from exposure to super-concentrated mercury in a laboratory, but that amount was billions of times more concentrated than what would be found in many, many pounds of fresh tuna..

[In-N-Out]

What do you mean that's our green light to fish? You have several experts each saying contradictory things. How is that a green light to anything other than confusion?

[renantecruz]

my mom is 80 yrs old ..she loves canned tuna ever since she was younger.. where did you get your research

[OutttaPockettt]

When i opened my canned tuna. . .



She appeared

[christopherlayana]

But countries in Asia especially china eat seafood at such high quantities and those people have very high lifespans..

[stevesteve]

Canned Mackrel and wild salmon are low in mercury and high in omega 3. I take them instead of Tuna.

[ysplz]

I will say that I’ve been eating 2 cans of tuna almost every day for around a year and I have no health problems. I would say I am very healthy because of it actually. I am just trying to see if I can be more healthy but the protein is so good in tuna

[Justin-ykdu]

You can tuna guitar, you can't tuna fish.

[iistyleszii]

I love mercury. I get most of mine from fish.

[TheNickelangel]

Showing cooling towers when saying "pollution" makes zero sense - that is just water vapour - steam - that you are seeing...

[latitude]

It's OK to eat fish. They don't have any feelings. Nirvana

[jeathtunes]

Another "epic" advice from an "epic expert". I will enjoy my tuna cans the way i always had. Im actually going to open a can of tuna right now.

[jeffjeff]

Thank time you make it sound like everthing is wrong.

[anonymous]

I think they want us to actually go out and fish instead smh
