You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person."

No (Canned) Soup For You!!

A new study done at Harvard, showed that after eating
Progresso canned soup for 5 days BPA levels were 1,200 times
higher than in those who ate fresh soups.

The chemical bisphenol A is used in the lining of canned foods
and has been linked to cancer, heart disease, reproductive
abnormalities, and many other health issues.
