2. Eat cat food

It's loaded with taurine because cats will sicken and die without it. They're obligate carnivores who ideally live on raw protein. The heat used in canning cat food destroys taurine, so the food is heavily supplemented with it.

Sushi wrapped in the green-black seaweed is also a great source, one of the best.

All my favorite proteins are high in taurine, even when cooked: chicken, turkey, scallops, tuna, tilapia. I suppose it's how I got so damned old without developing diabetes, both my parents were diabetic.

Cat food is still the best dietary source. Gotta tell you, though, that the super cheap canned tuna does not make a decent tuna salad. Please don't ask me how I know.
