    How much Tuna is bad?

    I heard tuna had lots of mercury in it, and you wern't even supposed to feed it to small kids. Anyway I thought I didn't like tuna untill this afternoon after coming home from the gym and realising I have no protein to eat, cracked open a can. This shit is great, but how much of it can I eat in a week without ****ing myself up?

    Bro, you couldnt possibly eat enough tuna to get mercury poisoning, thats nothing but an old wise tale. I've eaten as many as 35 cans of that shit a week and been fine.

    Hah thanks guys, the reason I turn to tuna is I'm sick of cooking so much ****ing chicken, it barely even tastes good anymore. Probably because I cook a few pounds at a time and put the rest in the fridge, So my first meal is hot delicious chicken but for the next 4 or 5 meals out of it they are all cold since I don't have a microwave and I don't wanna go through the whole heating/properly recooling process.

    i used to like it now i hate it. I've heard that over time mercury can accumlate in your body from eating a lot of it.

    Salt isn't bad for is it? I heard it causes you to retain water, but for all intensive purposes who gives a shit, it's not like water is bad for you? I heard too much salt can lead to high blood pressure though

    Some people want to look as lean and ripped as possible. so they limit there sodium intake.

    I dont think someone would actually lie about what the FDA has said considering they could lose their job.

    I wish 8-10 breasts lasted me all week. ****, I'm lucky to make it 2 1/2 days on 8-10 1/2 lb breasts. And I hate going to Wendy's and getting a sandwich just to toss the bread and eat the chicken, because their chicken tastes like a ****in dirty sock or something.
