This was a good find for me because I have wondered about this for a while:

I wonder does tuna in pouches contain the exact weight that is listed on the package.

Not surprising. I think this type of thing happens a lot! Craziness! And usually we pay much more than 50 cents for a can of tuna. Sigh...

Actually, at 50 cents for 2 ounces, that is still only $4 a pound for tuna. I think that is actually pretty cheap, since "Worldwide about 90% of the stocks of large predatory fish stocks are already gone." http://overfishing.org/pages/why_is_ove ... roblem.php
(Tuna is a predatory fish.) At the rate they are being harvested, the supply will likely run out by 2048. They'll become like land wild animals, hunted by hobbyists. Future generations will never taste them, just as most Europeans and North Americans have never tasted deer. I don't think you can farm deer very successfully, and farmed versions of most wild animals don't have the nutrient content of the originals. Certainly farmed salmon doesn't.
I'm certainly not a purist when it comes to food sources, but I am a realist. When I eat deep sea fish these days at any price, I feel rather privileged.
Sorry to rain on the parade!
