Sorry, upon review I realized my error: it's _harder_ to put in cans,  
industrially, successfully. IOW, most of the bad rap that it gets is  
largely the result of either A) putting it in cans so the tomato  
acids can make it taste like aluminum, and B) an assumption that if  
it contains tomatoes, it also needs things like oregano and garlic.
