Before you pick sides, consider this: tuna is overfished. Big time. Some species like bluefin are nearly extinct. So whatever you choose, look for the pole-and-line or dolphin-safe labels. Otherwise, you’re eating the ocean’s last stand.
And here’s a weird fact: tuna packed in oil often comes from higher-quality cuts. The cheap water-packed stuff is usually scrap meat. So if you’re paying $1.00 for water tuna, you’re basically eating the ocean’s leftovers. You deserve better.
