Follies of the Madmen #515

I have seen some remarkably large cans of tuna used in food service, admittedly some time ago.
What I would question is the wisdom of marketing tuna as "sea meat."

Thanks (Not!)
A tiny block and cleaver or a large can doesn't do anything for me, but the phrase: "canned at the water's edge" is going to bug me for weeks.
I can imagine some Star-Kist exec: "Most tuna is canned in Pittsburg or Albuquerque, but we're leading the way by building canneries closer to the docks to reduce shipping costs, a saving we pass on to the consumer."
As a writer, I often create worlds with odd quirks, but the social/political/economic/economic forces which would lead to fish canneries being far inland escapes me.
