It’s bad enough they gotta stink up the break room, now they’re going around making content about eating sardines and how healthy they think it is (it’s not)
Why is this a thing now? Go eat some beans nerds

Looool the cope. Look up the numbers, eating small fish can add up with mercury, considering you eat cans of 20 at a time.
I don’t know why I would feel bad, I have the moral high ground.
You underestimate the power of my mercury addled brain! I just bought another tin of sardines, I'm going to power up to debate you further in the marketplace of ideas.
Seriously though, on the technicalites. The cans I typically eat have about 5. Never the less, smaller fish are positively confirmed to have less (and we are taking an crazy small amount) mercury - with larger fish having a higher content per pound because of accumulation effects and longevity. All fish can have mercury, do you never eat fish? I'm not going to swear off fish, which I don't eat often enough to make a clinically significant difference until I'm probs on my death bed anyway. To that same end, we're bombarded with all kinds of chemicals and compounds on a daily basis. Mercury and lead is in our air due to coal power production, our produce has pesticides in it, PFAS is in our blood... All we can really do with environmental exposure right now is enjoy life and mitigate whatever risk we can, and of course work to clean up this shit... Which we're already too old to see the benefits of.
Yes I never eat fish of any kind. I gave them up 7 years ago after taking a class in environmental ethics. It’s quite easy in fact and they even make some decent vegan fish that typically uses konjac and I assume seaweed of some kind.
Well we are bombarded by toxins but that’s hardly a reason to give up. Coke Zero is carcinogenic. Pickled vegetables are too. Lightly so, but also scientifically proven so. Well you can be one of those people who gives up and says “well damn California says everything is toxic these days!”, but where does that mindset end? Might as well take up a cig habit if the toxic swamp of life is unavoidable. But.. much of it is avoidable. And eating vegan is a big part of avoiding it for a few reasons.
