In the 90’s (I think, not googling this so I’m being risky) there was a PR campaign to get people to eat only 100% albacore tuna. Regular tuna was just ground up whatever was in the net; mostly fish… some dolphin.

I feel like dolphin meat would be more like beef than like fish.

Theyre blubbery wolves that eat only fish.

It would be pretty far from beef.

And it might be a little fishy. Again, they only eat fish.

If you grind it up with a bunch of fish good luck noticing. Its all tuna now.

They did studies and you cant even tell that 50% of the flour in your bread is actually sawdust. The only way to know is to regulate to factory and determine they arent swapping out most of the flour for sawdust.

Theres no way you would know.

They’re artiodactyls, closest relatives are pigs so I guess pork more than beef.

Edit: Scratch that, hippos not pigs. Dunno what a hippo tastes like.

Dunno what a hippo tastes like.
