Simple question. Sometimes I'm in the mood to eat, but the brain power required to think, sometimes is exhausting... expecially after a day long migraine / headache.

Yes. Do what is helping you reach your goals.0

Packaged/canned soap is already cooked and is safe to eat straight from the can.0

I've done it before and live to tell the story of my own personal desperation in a time when my power was out and I couldn't find a lighter for my stove. That being said, I can imagine if you do it frequently you could put yourself at risk of cancer due to metals from the can, but I mean, what isn't going to give you cancer these days?0

The metals from the can are a constant whether you heat the contents up or not.0

It's precooked, so you won't get salmonella or anything. It's loaded with salt, though. Even saltaholics might find it too salty.0

I like the boxed soups better. Yes I have poured a cup of chicken broth and drank it without warming. As stated above they are cooked and sealed.0

You're not using a metal spoon, are you? Can you imagine the cancer you'd get eating out of a metal can with a metal spoon? You're basically just eating cancer straight off of cancer.

What kind of jaggedy pointy spoon are you using that you think it is going to scratch the inside of an aluminum can enough to shave off little fragments of metal into your soup? And if that happens, I'd be more worried about gouging the inside of my mouth with the spoon than cancer from metal on metal....0 -
But if you put that soup into a pot and heat it up, then you've got metal from the can and metal from the pot. And if it's non-stick, you get the teflon too!
Do you really want to know how deep the rabbit hole goes?

I'm going to wear a foil hat though while I'm eating it. Better or worse?0 -
Just when you think you've seen it all! Never change, MFP!0

Only if its Duck Soup.0

I just want to point out the inside of those cans are coated in a plastic epoxy. The metal isn't going to hurt you. You might grow a third arm from the BPA though... Wait, am I helping?0
