The speaker argues that mercury poisoning from tuna is misunderstood. They claim a can of tuna is cooked twice before being placed in the can, and therefore people are not getting mercury poisoning from eating raw tuna but from the tuna being cooked twice and then packaged with polymers and chemicals. The speaker asserts that mercury poisoning results from this process rather than from raw consumption.
According to the speaker, nobody gets mercury poisoning from eating raw wild-caught tuna, wild-caught salmon, or wild-caught fish. Instead, they claim poisoning comes from tuna that has been cooked, or from farm-raised tuna that is fed soy pellets, canola, corn, and other garbage. The speaker urges that people rethink what they’re being told about mercury in fish.
The speaker references John, who reportedly discussed mercury as the substance that makes fish jump out of the water, and connects that idea to swordfish, which is described as loaded with mercury and “gets up into the air.” The claim is made that mercury in this context contributes to the fish’s ability to leave the water.
The speaker contends that there are “benefits of mercury in your body,” but emphasizes that mercury is not meant to be injected with boosters, and is not meant to be cooked up and then released and eaten. They suggest that consuming wild-caught raw tuna yields “tons of energy,” and compare this to eating oysters, which they describe as aphrodisiacs and beneficial. The speaker states that oysters are real good for you, and implies that similar benefits apply to tuna and all fish when eaten raw.
The overarching message is that raw fish, particularly wild-caught varieties, are presented as superior or energetically advantageous by the speaker, who also argues that the preparation process (cooking then canning) and the feed practices of farm-raised fish alter the mercury dynamics. The speaker concludes with the assertion that raw consumption is preferred, claiming that “raw is the law” for fish in general.
