Opening up a can of tuna yesterday I was wondering ‘where has the rest of this tuna ended up? How long will it be before the whole fish is eaten, and how much will be wasted’?

    Wasn’t there a post on here not long ago with someone thinking the same thing about getting half an avocado? Like “woah someone else is eating the same avocado as me”. This also applies to say, cows. Pretty rare to eat one single cow yourself.

      Oh I missed that! But wait, where you can buy half an avocado? Why would you only want half?

        I think they meant being served half an avocado on a restaurant dish. Your plate comes out, there’s half a sliced avocado on top of your enchiladas… then you scan the room, thinking “who here has the other half of my avocado?”

      My parents are dairy farmers and once or twice we had an entire cow in the deep freeze. Not any more though. It’s barely worth if you take the butchering cost and the electricity from he freezer in account.

      If you have the freezer space, a butcher will happily sell you a whole cow, butchered into a mix of steaks, roasts, and ground beef to your specified quantities!

      Applies to cities with fishmongers as well, although it’d usually be restaurants buying whole tuna to serve fresh or in steaks rather than canned.
