Never heard of sardines pizza, is it really a thing?
I remember cartoons/sitcoms in the 90's using sardines as a gross pizza topping, usually to highlight the quirkiness of a single character.
Sardines in the other hand are served headless but otherwise whole, they're very meaty and would be weird and mooshy on pizza.

> Speaking of Portugal, they do grilled fresh sardines One of my Portuguese guilty pleasures, along with (ethically questionable, I know) octopus salad. Highly recommend trying this if you can get your hands on some fresh sardines. Edit: grilled sardines are also a Japanese thing, so you might have luck finding them at an Asian market if your fishmonger doesn't have them.
I've rationalized eating the very intelligent octopus with the fact that they live for a maximum of like 2 years.
As usual when we apply "random ideology" we fall in an end road. From this point all are exceptions and excuses to fill the plot-holes, so the new guardians of the moral can keep asking for donations

They are certainly aware . At the simplest level, we know for a fact they respond to their environment. On accelerated time scales, it is also fairly obvious to see them compete with other plants and branches of themselves . We also know they communicate with other plants, warning them of the danger of insect predators, to which they respond by increasing the production of natural insecticides. Though I can't prove i…
The existence of consciousness in other species doesn't mean we have a mission to reduce suffering. That's an illogical non sequitur.

Those were anchovies. Anchovies are generally prepared salt packed and filleted. So they're thinn and salty. Very good for pizza. Sardines in the other hand are served headless but otherwise whole, they're very meaty and would be weird and mooshy on pizza.
What will cure/prevent type 2 diabetes is a low-carb, high-fat diet. Sardines are a low-carb, high-fat food. Eating them replaces a big load of the carbs people usually consume, and just like that they reduce the amount of insulin they have to produce, reducing their insulin resistance and so on. Omega-3 fatty acids are just a slight benefit, probably, and not so much for the diabetes. But "Just eat a can of sardines…
What other ways are you thinking of? Whole eggs, vegetables cooked in butter or oil, and fatty cuts of meat are probably the easiest for most people. But sardines are also easy because they're precooked. Strength training, and good sleep to support the training, also help a great deal, but is not as easily managed as adding something relatively tasty and convenient to one's diet. Eating a high quantity of diverse veg…

Sardines are a household favorite for us. My kids love them. The secret is, don't buy cheap ones. Look for brisling or any other small fish packed in olive oil. $3-5/can is a good sweet spot, although you can pay $9 for a can of imported Portuguese sardines no problem. Speaking of Portugal, they do grilled fresh sardines. My 3 year old insisted on eating them daily when we were in Lisbon
My uncle used to come over and visit my family. He would play chess on our laptop (wasn't tech savvy but was amazing at chess) with a stack of sardines and a gallon of water. He'd then comment "haha your dog loves me! I wonder why?" as he tosses our dog another sardine. He was a funny and strange guy, but he loved those sardines! He did tell me back in the 90s that processed carbohydrates were really bad for you, so…

Since supplements have been brought up, what's with the American's obsession over supplements? It's like people are just chomping them down like they're some sort of food stable like bread or rice (or maybe that's just what all the youtube videos want you to think). Its like every bodybuilder on youtube has their own brand of supplements now. Don't even get me started on pre-workout. "Don't feel like working out? Chu…
I’ve found exactly one supplement that had a major impact on my quality of life, and that’s magnesium. Something about magnesium supplements greatly reduced my daily anxiety, to the point that I was amazed because I’d always just imagined I was an “anxious person”.

In my case taking magnesium helps with insomnia and ADHD symptoms (although it's impossible to tell if the ADHD improved directly due the magnesium, or due to better sleep)
