Studies show that stuff labeled "tuna" could be a lot of other fish, but not tuna.
My solution: don't eat
any tuna. (Can't remember the last time I actually ATE any tuna, or at least something called tuna.)
More than half our tuna isn't really tuna
"The study compiled data from more than 1,200 seafood samples from 674
retailers in 21 states between 2010 to 2012. DNA testing showed that 33
percent of those samples were mislabeled
or posing as fish that they
were not. Samples claimed to be tuna and snapper had the highest fail
rates, at 59 percent and 87 percent, respectively."
It's too bad we can't farm tuna, and feed them fishmeal made from Asian carp.
