They actually started putting that plastic lining into tomato cans
first, because the acidity of the tomatoes would sometimes corrode the
can. You seldom see that anymore now that the plastic lining is
there. But I expect that jarred tomatoes will be along shortly......
or else they will find some other sort of liner that won't carry
carcinogens.
