WHY WE LIKED CANNED STUFF- Organics spoil in a day or two and they offer nothing in our opinion. I'm sure many of you feel differently, and to each his own. Soups are wonderful from a can. Have you tried Progresso soups? Better than mine! I've heard all the warnings about sodium. So rinse them!
HEALTHY OR NOT? - We've been eating canned stuff all our lives, and eat everything in moderation. Moderation is the key. We don't eat a lot of anything! Little meals and know when to stop eating. Don't eat until you're full. Stop before that.
We're fit (not overweight and not obese), we're not sickly from eating them, and we like to think we look young.
BUYING ORGANICS? - Organics "came out" over the last 5-10 years and we've bought them and they rot in a day or two. It's wasteful and it's time consuming to run to the supermarket every two days (unless you have a butler to do it, and we certainly don't). Some people have no tolerance for any preservatives, and we get that.
CONVENIENCE - I also like the ability to take a can of whatever I need to create a dinner and use it. Obviously a lot of people also like the convenience of canned and boxed foods or no one would sell them. :)
SIDE NOTE- If you're that concerned, are you going to grow tea leaves in your backyard and pick them yourself, grind 'em and bag 'em to make your own tea? Or coffee beans? We do have a vegetable garden in the summer and grow what we can. As we've learned, everyone has their own take on things, and do what is right for you- Just BE HEALTHY!
