What's worse for the environment a chicken breast or a can of tuna?


I would have gone vegan but soy and powdered whey gives me insomnia. I'm having milk and eggs, but still I can't get all the protein I need. I'm in the gym 4 times a week for 2 hours. So should I have a chicken breast a day or a can of tuna?

Actually those are probably the 2 meats you shouldn't eat. Tuna contains high levels of mercury which lead to soo many health problems... Pregnant women are told not to eat fish because the mercury can damage the babies brain... so it must not be that good.. Mens Fitness magazine rated chicken the number one meat not to eat because chickens are pumped with soooo many hormones.. So I would say neither..

That would be okay because you really do need protein in your diet. Although you can try different types of beans and nuts because they have protein too. Peanut butter is a good source, but high in calories.

I'd say the chicken is. I think there was just another thread about this on here.

Found it! You can read other people's thoughts here:

The tuna probably has fewer adverse effects, assuming it's dolphin safe. Chicken usually comes from factory farms, which are the biggest pollution machines on the planet.

Tuna can have mercury in it, do not eat too much, do some research. No, I'm not kidding.
