I've never really tried canned food outside of beans, but my family and I were unfortunately stuck in a hotel for a few weeks so we bought a bunch of canned meals because we figured aside from being cheaper they would also be healthier and tastier than frozen microwave meals. Nope. The meat in the canned stew had cellulose so it tasted like cardboard. Our toddlers wouldn't even eat a bite of chef boyardee spaghetti--checked the ingredients--HFCS and soy. Wtf? It's spaghetti and meatballs. Let me repeat that: They have fucked up these brands so bad that *toddlers* didn't recognize *"spaghetti"* as food. How are they in business? What good goys are consooming this shit in order for it to fill store shelves? And of course it's all more expensive than ever.

Not all canned slop is created equal. Since I've lived in my van for over two years with no fridge, I overwhelmingly make my meals from shelf stable ingredients, and it still ends up clean-ish. You don't get Chef Boyardee; you make your own spaghetti and meatballs. Get a can of plain roast beef (no soy or cellulose in those), some egg powder or egg replacer, tomato powder, and noodles. Mash up the drained meat with the egg and some spices, and it forms into meatballs easily. Cook the noodles, partially drain it and add the tomato powder and it basically just becomes red sauce. Canned tomato paste also works. Throw in the meatballs and heat those up too, and you've got something pretty tasty and nutritious altogether. I usually also add canned mushrooms or olives and shred parmesan on top.

The main trick is trying to keep the canned ingredients raw and separate. Plain meat + standalone vegetables = only mildly processed. Uncle Stein's Clam Chowder = a few specks of meat floating in soybean oil.
