Better not to eat it anyway.

There's nothing wrong with canned foods due to the canning process, it's the crap they put in the cans that's bad for you.

Companies that process food are always looking for ways to increase profit. The cheaper the ingredients--both as raw stock, and the cost of paying workers, shipping, etc.--the higher the profit. It's no surprise they use literal slave labor in any country where they can get away with it. They know it's happening, they just don't care.

    I was amazed when Campbell's came out with their line of low-salt soups. The can was slightly smaller, the soup wasn't condensed (so you didn't add a can of water to it), and it cost twice as much. You're paying over four times as much as normal just for them to not put as much salt in the soup in the first place.
