Why eat canned beans when you can eat the frozen stuff?

[divine_moment_of_facts]

I usually eat only fresh or frozen veggies, but 2 months ago I started stocking up on canned foods.. just in case.. ya know?

Figures this report came out right after that! Ugh! Honestly, I don't care.. I'm going to keep buying canned green beans and corn!

I’m with you on that! Either fresh or frozen for me, but i do eat soup and the numbers for soup are bad too. Intersesting to see Waxman stinking up the matter too.

"...Why eat canned beans when you can eat the frozen stuff?..."

For the purposes of stockpiling: As a half-@ssed prepper, my mentality is to collect a lot of nonperishable food, and canned food figures significantly in that goal. While high-acid foods like tomatoes do indeed eat through the protective linings of cans in a year or two, other, less acidic canned foods will last several years, which is long enough to endure the Obama-fomented food riots that are on the horizon.

Sometimes you can't, though.

For example, those of us who eat meals prepared at military chow halls far, far away.

Fresh fruits and veggies are availalble most of the time (although, there were plenty of times in the earlier, rough days when they were not) and you make do with what you have.

I long ago stopped worrying about all of these food scares. Joe Jackson had a song in the 80s called "Everything Gives You Cancer." Pretty much sums it up.
