    I’m excited about cultured tuna used for cat food and the positive effects on the ocean that might have. Even a vegan person with cats is consuming potentially hundreds of pounds of tuna over a year.

        Numbers derived from my arse tend to have low accuracy. Especially when I’m estimating how much “cats” eat without specifying quantity.
