Starkist's tuna in a pouch is available in water or oil. Pouch tuna
tastes much better to me than the stuff in a can (possibly excepting
the expensive Italian tuna canned in olive oil) and I find there's
significantly less waste, offsetting the somewhat higher price.

Where I shop I find both tuna in water and tuna in oil. I buy the oil
pack, only solid white... the chunk light is worse than canned cat
food, and it's salty. And I don't see the point in choosing the water
pack to save calories, not if you're going to mix it with globs of
mayo... mayo is essentially oil, commercial mayo like Hellmans being
the same soy oil as is used in oil pack tuna, so like really big DUH!

And don't get me started on tuna in a pouch... unless you're training
to become an astronaut who the Eff wants to eat tuna squeezed from a
colostomy pouch.

Lol...yep it's a pretty simple concept when you think about. I've had to
explain to several folks why I always buy tuna in oil...when they realize
the sense of it a light bulb goes on over their head.

Yer not addin' it to a glass of water or diet cola, you are adding it to a
salad or something that has plenty of fat already in it. The calorie diff
between water - packed and oil - packed is fairly negligible all things
considering.

It's N - A - S - T - Y stuff...remember some of the discussions here about
it, it was The New Big Thing, I tried it and couldn't believe how ghastly it
was.
