Just wondering....

Answer
Tuna has it all. That’s why it’s the Wonderfish! It’s officially America’s most popular fish. Tuna is rich in protein, low in saturated fat and calories and a natural source of omega-3s and vitamin D. Good for your heart. Good for your brain. Great for lunch, snacks or dinner. (Check out who agrees here and here).
Did you know…
Americans ate an average of 2.5 pounds of tuna fish per person in 2009.
83% of adults report making tuna fish sandwiches.
56% of adults report potato chips as their favorite side to eat with tuna and 47% report a fruit or vegetable.
Other ways adults who like tuna sandwiches also eat tuna include pasta or casserole dishes (40 percent) or salads (28 percent). Seventeen percent say they eat tuna right out of the can or pouch.
One of the most popular ways tuna lovers eat tuna is with a “crunch.” The most common additions to tuna, beyond mayo (73 percent), include onions (41 percent), lettuce (40 percent), celery (27 percent) or pickle (25 percent).
The most popular kind of canned and pouch tuna? Chunk, light tuna in water. Light tuna (in water and oil) accounts for 68% of annual domestic canned and pouch tuna consumption. Albacore, or white tuna, accounts for the rest.
People eat more tuna in the summertime – nearly 30 percent of tuna eating occasions are during the summer.
A two ounce serving of canned tuna in water contains about a quarter of your daily protein needs for less than 75 calories.
The American Heart Association says eat at least two servings of fish each week. But, only 10% of women meet this goal.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends pregnant and breastfeeding women eat up to 12 ounces – about 2-3 meals – each week of a variety of fish and shellfish, including tuna. As much as half (six ounces) of this fish each week can be albacore tuna.
The word tuna dates back only to 1880, and comes from the Spanish American derivation of the English counterpart, tunny. It’s derived from the Latin Thunnus.
A tuna fish can swim up to 55 miles per hour and is always in motion.
One hungry tuna eats up to ten percent of its body weight daily.
Bluefin tuna – the focus of vigorous conservation efforts – is not used in commercial canned and pouch tuna products. America’s tuna companies support the U.S. and global calls for a moratorium on fishing blue fin in the Mediterranean.
Skipjack tuna stocks, used to make light tuna, are among the healthiest and most carefully managed in the world.
The majority of Albacore stocks are generally healthy and well managed. However, albacore from the north Atlantic requires stronger management measures to return them to a healthier, more sustainable state. Only about 10% of commercial albacore tuna is sourced from these stocks and is done so in compliance with current conservation measures.

Food and Christianity?
Colleen D
Hello, my name is Colleen, and I am a college student in Kansas City, KS. I am doing a project about the role of food in Christianity for my religion class. I was wondering if you all could answer a few of my questions.
1- Do you believe that food plays an important role in your religion?
2- Is fasting practiced in your denomination? What is the significance?
3- Do you have any restraints of food? If so, where do these originate from?
4- Do you have congregational activities that involve food? (example: pancake dinners)
5- What is your name, city, and denomination?
Thank you for answering my questions.
first name only, just for reference purposes.
Answer
1. I would say food is often the means to an end, or it can lead to more friendly relations or can be used to help serve others. For example, if a family is adjusting to having a new baby in the house, or someone is severely ill, the Relief Society will often ask volunteers to bring in meals (the women's group) for a short period of time. (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.)
2. We have Fast Sunday once a month. We are supposed to abstain from food and drink except as health constraints may limit it (for example, if someone is pregnant or else young children) for 24 hours and then donate the money we would have spent on 2 meals as a Fast Offering to help those who have severe financial needs, as part of a welfare system that makes sure no one goes hungry or homeless. Fasting helps you draw closer to God. It can also be used to concentrate faith towards the needs of someone who is ill, or undergoing an operation, or making a hard decision, etc.
3. Word of Wisdom Section 89 of the Doctrine and Covenants explains that we should abstain from strong tea and hot drinks (coffee, or related drinks), alcohol, tobacco, and the like. We should be emphasizing herbs, the fruit of the field (vegetables also), grains (as opposed to flour), and eat meat sparingly. Most of us could probably work on that. My sister-in-law won't eat bacon because of something she read about parasites, but I will eat it, if well-cooked, since I love bacon and tomato sandwiches. The Word of Wisdom was revealed to Joseph Smith because his wife Emma, kept complaining about how the men who visited their home would keep spitting tobacco juice on the floor, which apparently was a nuisance to clean up since it stains, and it couldn't have smelled very good either. Obviously we also stay away from illegal drugs as well. It took a while for the Word of Wisdom to become more than just a "word" and more of a commandment.
4. We Mormons are always having get-togethers with food. The singles wards (for those who aren't married and go) are always having a potluck dinner after Fast Sunday, say 6 pm Sunday. At least it is a common practice. There might be Daddy-Daughter dinners, or dinners with the Relief Society (the women age 18 and up) or for Christmas, etc. We used to have a running joke that it wasn't really a Mormon activity unless you had a green Jell-O salad, especially with grated carrots. Personally I like green Jell-O salad with walnuts, whipped cream, marshmallows and crushed pineapple. Punch and cookies used to be the stand-by for other events, but they've been moving toward healthier finger foods lately at dances. I think the Boy Scouts have a breakfast or dinner activities on occasions, and the young men and young women might have an etiquette dinner every year to practice for more formal occasions. Now I have also seen Mormon quinceaneras with girls who turn 15 and 16 from Latino ancestry, and those are fun, too, in the Spanish wards. Sometimes we just have cooking and recipe sharing activities as well. We have also been told by several prophets and leaders for about the last 30 years to work on food storage in case of emergency, so most families try to do that as well.
