Tuna

Tuna is known to be a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. It's also a good source of protein. Do you like tuna? I love it but some time ago I found this disturbing video:

I love tuna, it's such a great source for protein! It also tastes nice and I often mix it in various sallads! I can't see the video though..

 

It seems the video can be watched only in a few locations. To summarize: some tuna are carrying radioactive contamination from Japan's power-plant leak and it's dangerous to health.

 

I love tuna. Although I must admit, I enjoy it most in "tuna salad" form vs straight out of the can. I figure tuna salad still beats the greasy cheeseburger or pizza that I'm not eating in lieu of the tuna.

 

You don't need to be concerned about contamination, it is scaremongering, Chris Kresser explains why on his blog. You do need to be aware of the mercury content, though.

Tuna is not my favourite fish and it is quite expensive. Give me salmon any day.

 

I clicked the link but before I watch it I am going to hate you zest if this makes me hate canned tuna..

doesnt work in my area Lol

 

I cannot eat tuna to save my life. I just hate the taste of it. The description of the video is not helping this cause either. But I do take a fish oil supplement on a daily basis to get in some the omega benefits, since I'm not a big fan of fish. It doesn't contain tuna in specific though.

 

I ate loads of tuna when I saw a similar video. To be honest it didn't stop me. What did eventually reduce the amount of tuna I eat is that it rose in price significantly here where I live.
