Also, the first time I ate a restaurant in North Carolina I ordered chicken, and it came with bbq sauce all over it. I took napkins and daubed it off. I like 🥩 meat, not all the sauces.
Actually mercury and heavy metal count is a factor of age, diet and size. Swordfish and Blue Fin Tuna because are large fish that have long lives and bioaccumulate high amounts of mercury.
Sockeye salmon live 2-3 years before spawning and are pretty low in heavy metals for that reason. Even the longer living king salmon have only moderate levels. Most commercial lobster is relatively low in mercury though lobsters can live for hundreds of years so a really big lobster would likely have higher levels or mercury.
For me it was steak tartare. It is super popular in France and I thought it was nearly as flavorful as a medium rare hamburger. Now I love rare steak but raw ground beer not so much.
Bulletproof coffee gross
Laird Hamilton’s hippie coconut MCT coffee creamer also gross
Coffee drinks with sparkling water gross
Cold brew pretty awesome just the regular stuff that sat in fridge overnight, rich, smooth, amazing in an enema.
Why do you say false? The generally consensus is that North American lobsters live over 100 years but the fact is no one knows exactly how long b/c it is very difficult to age them and many of the largest (and oldest) lobsters are too big to be caught in a commercial lobster trap, they simply won't fit.
Lobsters like many giant tortoises don't age in the sense that humans age (they keep getting bigger and continue to reproduce and their bodies don't breakdown from old age like ours do, their size eventually catches up with them and the molting process requires so much energy that many die after they reached a certain size and weight. In terms of Fecundity a female lobster will lay many times more eggs at 20 and 30 than she did at 5-7 years old.
The science is shifting a few years ago it was estimated their were 200 and 300 maybe even 400 year old lobsters in the ocean, today consensus that the oldest lobster that was caught was somewhere around 140 years old but that the oldest lobsters could live much longer than that.
While lobsters are not my specific field of study, (I studied Salmon and other pelagic fish when I got my Masters in Marine Science at the University of Washington) my family has been lobstering for several generations and I'm pretty familiar with the latest science.
Given that a lot is still unknown I will say lobsters can live for well over 100 years. That is much older than the oldest Tuna so from a bioaccumulation standpoint massive older lobsters are likely to have more heavy metals than the normal 5 to 10 year old lobsters that most people eat and are considered to be relatively low in mercury and other metal contaminants. (PCPs are another issue).
Female lobster: A female lobster mates primarily when she is in the soft-shell state, right after she has shed her shell (molted). Photo to the left shows an egg bearing lobster, also known as a “berried” lobster. Eggs: A fre...

White castle, worst burgers ever. I don't get it. You essentially drop a tiny burger into a pool of water, and then eat a small tasteless soggy burger. Is this for obese people who just don't want to chew their food? Horrible experience.
