Can I have all your canned food? I’m stocking up, and probably too old to worry about it.

I wonder if it makes a difference how long the stuff has been sitting around on the shelf.

The only issue I can see is if an individual has high blood pressure. That person might want to be mindful of the sodium content.

Other posters have pointed out that it's probably safer in cans then it is in plastic. All in all you're taking a chance on any food that you don't kill/grow and prepare for yourself.

Ditto.

Frankly, I love GMO food.

LOL! And a couple of cheers for irradiated meat. I like my burger medium rare.

Bravo, I could not have said it better!

Tomatoes are very acid, by lining the cans they extend the storage life.

[muawiyah]

Yup.

Probably some balderdash from the non-GMO folks.

Yawn.

I looked at a few canned items a few years ago and saw some quality-best-by dates about two years out on some vegetables. There should be something on at least some of the cans.

No, it's not safe. One should only eat 100% organic, raw, wild food one personally has foraged from untouched, old-growth forests. One should never eat anything one cannot personally vouch for from seed to fruit.

Otherwise, someday, one might die.

...maybe in light ink of some kind on one end or the other of each can, if I remember correctly.

Some 40 years ago, one of those studies came out with a cancer threat — from china dishes of the previous 20+ years that had a dark green design. Per the study, a cancer agent in the dark green dye used to make the design supposedly would seep through to the surface of plates and cups.

[My mother had a set of those that she used daily for 20 years. No one in the immediate family has ever had cancer.]

Well great, next time monsanto wants government to use agent orange you will be all set to sign up.

I guess this is why life expectancy has gone up since people only ate fresh, organic foods. Chi Chi’s went out of business because fresh, organic food killed so many people.

Actually-—I’ll just keep collecting-—LOL!
