Aha it's impossible to eat healthy in the USA

Obese country with shitty food

Even Japan won't eat it, HAH!

I'm sure I've had escolar sushi and have never had anal leakage. What sort of piss-weak bowels do these people have?

>>4259175
Apparently it can be eaten in small quantities, and that issues generally arise if you eat over 6 oz. of it.

>>4259185
Ah that explains a lot. So it's a problem for fatties who consume massive quantities of sushi and grill 12 oz tuna-steaks because it's "healthier" than beef.

>a fish that can cause prolonged, uncontrollable, oily anal leakage.

>>4259102

"To be frankly and bluntly specific - and I'm sorry for this - consumption of escolar causes explosive, oily, orange diarrhea. People have reported that the discharges are often difficult to control and accidents can happen while passing gas."

>Eight out of nine sushi samples labeled as "white tuna," or shiro maguro, at venues in the Los Angeles area were actually escolar. Fisheries biologists often call escolar the "ex-lax fish" for its often purgative effect on the digestive system. It is not among the 14 species that can legally be labeled as tuna

>>4259195
So it allows your anus to be lubed up forever? Is this supposed to be bad?

Lol, you sushi fags are the most gullible people on Earth.
I always knew that shit is garbage and here is my validation. Suck it.

>mfw I work at a seafood counter, and have to discuss this with customers for the next few days.

For the record, we've never intentionally mislabeled fish.

Fish wholesalers however are a bunch of lying assholes. So, this story doesn't surprise me at all.

>>4259102
So this is America's hosemeat scandal. Well-played.

>a fish that can cause prolonged, uncontrollable, oily anal leakage.

>>4259213
sue sue sue

Big deal. If you shit yourself after eating sushi, don't go back to that place.

Sushi is shit tier hipster gook food anyways.

>>4259239
>Sushi is shit tier hipster gook food anyways
Truth. Makes me lol heartily

Ah, the "free market" at work

>>4259239
>raw, lightly seasoned meat
>shit tier hipster food
Got some bad news for you friend. It's great and it will be around forever.

Because people are fucking IDIOTS and don't actually know their food or look at their food before they consume it. Especially at a sushi venue. How could you avoid not checking to see if it's the right fish, or even making sure the quality is okay?
Uncooked real tuna will always be a slight or very pinkish red shade. Always.

Oh and pic related. The pinker filet is the real tuna and the white filet is the escolar, or fake white "tuna." It's very simple.

>>4259255
I've eaten at a ton of sushi places and never had white fleshed "tuna." Where are they going that has shitty places like this?

>>4259255
I'm sure most people assume a reputable establishment would only serve safe food. The fact that it's marketed as "white tuna" is the hilariously deceptive part. Half truths and whole lies.

>>4259258
Escolar is a safe food to eat in small quantities, and most people who know this fish know that it can give you the shits.
Real tuna is just never white. There's no such thing as a white filet of tuna. If I ordered some tuna nigiri and the pieces came out as white I would send it back.

People would be completely ripping themselves off (escolar is a cheap fish compared to tuna), and to top it off they're eating a fish that is going to make them shit mountains. It's just best to know what different kinds of raw fish look like before you step into sushi joints.

>>4259259
Me either man. Idk.

>>4259250
>It's great and it will be around forever.
I know. In shit tier hipster gook places.

>>4259276
If it tastes good, eat it.

>>4259276
I think you're one of the dumbest people on the planet if you think sushi isn't here to stay.

>>4259276
Is there a particular reason you can't even get your racial slurs in order?

You would think a man with such ignorant hatred in his heart would at least have the boldness to steal components of other cultures, but apparently not.

Go shotgun a couple cans of Miller and get back to me when you've mellowed out.

>>4259259
Its the people who buy sushi from the corner gas stations and unlicensed street vendors.

>>4259280
>doesn't like sushi
>racist
lol. I love you PC mental midgets.
OOPS I SAID MIDGET

>>4259280
In Hangul, Migook means American. When we first showed up in Asia, they kept saying, "migook, migook, migook." And we said, "ok, ok - you're a gook."

True story.

At least that's still 41% who have "real" tuna
There are no Japanese on the East Coast anyhow, the Chinese run all the Sushi places around here except in New York City.

Grow your own fruits, vegetables, and herbs.

Raise your own fish and chicken for meat and eggs, eat meat sparingly.

Bake your own bread.

Filter your water, drink only that. If you must have beer, brew it yourself. If you must have coffee, get the beans from a reputable distributor. Learn to do without soda, unless you are willing to learn how to make it.

For what little food you must buy, including flour for your bread, any fruits or vegetables you cannot grow due to space or soil, or the rare treat of beef, lamb, or pork, buy only from a farmer's market.

>>4259312
lol good luck with that, you delusional twat

Your feeble attempt at employing an obvious fallacy to troll has been noted.

>Your feeble attempt at employing an obvious fallacy to troll has been noted.

Did you seriously just thesaurus the bulk of your sentence? Because it sounds a lot like what a high schooler would do when they want to sound sophisticated.

>>4259382
That's how faggots like me write.

>>4259382
Different anon but, you might as well just admit that you're new to 4chan and forums in general.

Full report, it doesn't list restaurants but it does have a bit more info on how each city fared.

At least canned tuna is always tuna.

And canned salmon is pretty much all wild.

>>4259394
hmm, I wonder what the political orientation of the person that made that picture is

>>4260271
jew?

>>4259102
Fuck, I think that actually happened to me once. I was wondering what was wrong with me. They aren't joking about the oiliness either.

>>4260276
no, granola munching liberal with no job

lol gay marriage and global warming and higher tax rates!!!

>>4259102
>anal leakage
Sounds like a good time to me.

Not surprised in the slightest. Except by that last bit. That explains quite a bit for me.

Anybody remember Olestra? Escolar works the same way.

I've never eaten more than a few ounces (maybe more than a few after the third serving...), always in sashimi form, and have never experienced the side-effects. I'd eat the stuff even if it did stain my underwear. It's good.

As for the study, I was under the impression that this was common knowledge.

>>4259322
i do a lot of that, ie we grow our own vegetables, herbs, bake our own bread, brew our own beer, grind our own coffee and buy mostly everything else at markets.

it's not that hard or time consuming, it's around an hour a week of gardening and they grow themselves. the rewards are far greater than eating supermarket shite. people have just been conditioned to think that life is hard and supermarkets make it easy

>>4259150
Yep. Murican here, there are 3 things I fucking hate about the USA:
1. The ever-worsening government
2. The customary system (my yard is WAY longer than three of my feet)
3. The fact that you can't get any decent food, because there's no market for it. You can eat "healthy", per se (low-cal and high-vitamin), but it's still not "healthy" (the lettuce here is more likely to give you food poisoning than blue rare pork is in other countries)

>>4260340
You really don't want to take the underwear-staining side-effect. It's literally orange, pungent shit oil comin outta your ass. I'm happy I was at home and stayed home when it happened to me.

>>4260379
Number 3 most likely means you're buying food from a man who harvests it from the trash bin at a women's shelter. Fucking what the fuck, that's not true at all.

>>4260340

Here's what you do: Take some TP and roll it up into a cigar. Now shove that all up in your ass crack. Voila.

Take it from a backpacker. Helps cut down on swamp ass, too.

>>4260447
/r/ photos of used cigar plz

>>4260379
one thing on top of that: the total lack of transparency about genetically modified food and lack of labels on shit.

>>4259293
Hangook is also Korea in Korean. But this is Japanese we're talking about here so gook shouldn't be used. Besides most sushi restaurants in North America are run by Chinese people

>>4259102
This is done everywhere. It's just a matter of how "cleaned up" they can get their business before the DNA testers come in and take samples. Just wait until the results from Europe and Asia get posted.
I knew this back in the 1980's, it's why I only buy whole fish.

you faggots are retarded. im a sushi chef you cant mislabel a goddamn sashimi grade fish. the meat texture, flavor, and looking at the fish itself makes it obvious.
everybody knows "super white tuna" is escolar. it no big secret. youd have to eat pounds of it for your ass to leak and nobody eats pounds of raw escolar. i eat it daily.

>>4260502
>you cant mislabel sashimi grade fish
>we mislabel escolar every day

>>4260483
>implying genetic modification is bad or even worth labeling

oh boy here we go, all aboard the irrational fear train, next stop no proof with transfers to muh opinions

>>4260483

here we go

tell me about how MSG gave you cancer bro

>75% of the samples from sushi restaurants were mislabeled
75 goddamn %

thats called a manpon

superwhite-tunapon

joke's on you guys, I only eat canned sardines

>>4259207
>consumption of escolar causes explosive, oily, orange diarrhea. People have reported that the discharges are often difficult to control and accidents can happen while passing gas

>>4260554
yeah. the joke is on US on that one.

>>4260529
>hurr durr i haz chart
if you have a whole goddamn tuna/salmon/sea bass/mackeral whatever and you scale it, remove the head, and break it down you still know what goddamn fish it was. this is just asians trying to explain fish to idiot white people and them not getting it and calling it a "mislabel"
we call it white tuna because people dont know what baramatsu(escolar) is. if you look at a purple piece of sea bass and someone is dumb enough to think its tuna thats their fault. sushi bars dont have labels. if youre talking about grocery stores with prepacked maki rolls and your ground tuna has albacore mixed in it, thats hardly a "sushi restaurant"

your level of misinformation is otherworldly. ill assume youre landlocked to know so little about fish quality.

At the sushi places I've been to, it usually says "White tuna (escolar)." Escolar is very oily but delicious. White tuna isn't a thing.

There is really pale marbled fatty tuna from specific parts of the belly, but it's never white.

>>4260596
>landlocked
No, fish buyer for a Bay Area grocery store.

You straight up admit to knowing what fish you really have, admit to intentionally describing it as something else, and say it's those idiot round-eyes' fault for believing you?

Then your trump card is the fact that you don't have "labels" therefore you can't be "mislabeling" anything?

With asshats like you making sushi I'm surprised you even got it correct 25% of the time.

Recently I began eating tuna melts more often. Recently I've been having serious digestive problems, as well.

>>4260629
The total number of grocery stores and sushi venues mislabeling their fish is about the same for both with sushi venues ahead only by 2 shops. I can't prove it, but my hunch is that most people in the US buy their seafood at the grocery store or restaurants than eat out at sushi venues. I do not expect you to care about any of this since you rather accept misleading charts than to read, or at least to skim through, the actual report.

>>4259102

escolar is very delicious, just needs to be prepared properly

>>4260629
what im saying is nobody is retarded enough to confuse two different types of fish when very very seldom are their qualities even remotely similar. everybody knows what sashimi grade tuna looks like, the same goes for every other type of fish at a sushi bar. "white tuna" is just a nickname for escolar. it is nothing like tuna in regards to any sensitive faculties whatsoever, and nobody will ever try to convince you that escolar is actual tuna unless they speak no english at all.

i challenge you to give me one example of a sushi restaurant calling one fish another fish's name

>>4260767
>nobody will ever try to convince you that escolar is actual tuna unless they speak no english at all.
either you are white or one subtle ass kisser, why did I even bother?

>>4260797
christ, you must eat at some awful sushi joints.

ive worked at almost a dozen sushi places and confusing tuna with escolar will earn you a hearty bitchslap from a real sushi chef. i suppose im spoiled

anyway, your article and statistics are still embellished, journalistic horse shit. im sure the term "sushi restaurant" is VERY loosely used by the jackasses who did that study.

>>4260797
I hate this picture. It doesn't have anything to do with your post, it's just that this suburb garbage family messed up the whole point of the picture by letting the baby hold the iPad mini (or whatever it is) and having the fat girl with the broomstick haircut hold the iPhone. They had a whole descending order of size thing going on, and they messed it all up.

>>4259102
>prolonged, uncontrollable, oily anal leakage
yeah pretty sure we would've noticed that by now

>>4260810
you missed my point and confirmed for white. please let >>4260629 know what those idiot round-eyes are at fault for in this unsurprising mess.

>btw I'm not OP

>>4260827
there is nothing wrong with a happy family photo, but I know what you mean
