Canned Meat

''"A hunk of cooked meat packed into a sterilized can. Don't even ask what kind of meat, you won't be able to tell anyway. Human? Insect? Beef? Who knows!" ''

Canned meat is a food item added by the Meals and Munchies expansion. Produced at a Cannery after researching Advanced Food Preservation, canned meat never spoils, takes 4 years to deteriorate under normal conditions, provides a very solid price of $10.00 per can and can be eaten raw with no penalty for a solid 0.25 nutrition. Additionally, it also removes any mood penalty for eating human or insect flesh.

Like all canned goods, they unfortunately cost 1 steel a piece to produce 5 cans, but can be stacked up to 75, meaning they're 5 times more space efficient and can be kept anywhere with no fear of spoiling, making them one of the ultimate survival foods, even slightly better than canned meals, which give a -1 mood penalty, albeit they provide only about half the nutrition. Alternatively, 2 cans can be cooked into a simple meal to almost double the nutritional value, if the fuel or electricity can be spared to do so. Although it will never spoil, it can still be blown up, crushed, burned or left to deteriorate.
