aha, so it’s just another leftwing “faux NGO” scam.
source of funds:
- millions in direct govt funding
- millions from wealthy donors (for tax write-offs)
- handful of dollars from true believers
distribution of funds:
- millions into the pockets of the Board members
- millions to “campaign funds” of appropriate politicians
- handful of dollars spent on flyers and press releases
There are literally thousands of these money-laundering groups. Thousands upon thousands.

I read that at one time lobster was food for the peasants. Until (was it a Vanderbilt?) by mistake got a bowl of some lobster bisque meant for the help.

A couple years ago I had some home canned tuna and it tasted like the tuna I grew up with, the crap they sell you in the can now is awful.

Thanks Zakeet.
84% of fish samples labeled 'white tuna' were actually escolar, a fish that can cause prolonged, uncontrollable, oily anal leakage.
Okay, but is it fish oil? Because, y'know, that's good for ya. ;')

I know of some folks who are analyzing fish flesh to see what species it actually is. A problem is that they get a lot of noise and double ladders because they are using as a marker a mitochondrial protein which, though species-specific, shares enough homology to all the other instances of that protein to generate other copies during PCR, probably from bacteria on the surface of their samples. If it’s a small amount, then it will be amplified by a relatively small amount and the primary sequence can still be read.

It seems that white tuna should be avoided in particular as 84% of fish samples labeled 'white tuna' were actually escolar, a fish that can cause prolonged, uncontrollable, oily anal leakage.
Interestingly, in Spanish "escolar" is an adjective meaning "education," itself an enterprise in the United States given to the production of something equivalent to "prolonged, uncontrollable, oily anal leakage."

The problem can be avoided by buying an entire fish, though I guess that could be a problem if one likes tuna.
