Question

Help answer this question below.

Why do non-Mormons keep on suggesting that Mormons do not eat tinned food. True, Joseph Smith didn't eat timmed food, but then again, there wasn't much tinned food around when he was with us.

    I have never heard anyone suggest this. On the face of it, this is a ridiculous assertion seeing as the Church operates a number of canneries around the country as part of its welfare program.

    I have been engaged in Mormon Studies since the 1980's and I have NEVER heard this stated by any non-Mormon. Ever.

    Probably for the same reason that they say Mormons

    have 15 wives each
    communicate with God through a OuiJa Board
    Worship a HIPPO
    have horns
    dont have bellybuttons
    and consumate our marriages in the temple with all family and friends watching!

    none of it is true
    its all speculation mixed with urban myth mixed with "anti" literature and rumours

    Does it matter?

    that must be why they keep a years supply of the stuff. you would think it would just be easier to not buy it then collect so much stuff you cant eat anyway.

    Beats me.
    This is the first bit of NEW misinformation about us that I have heard of in the last 40 years.
