Best Answer

The first foods canned were for Napoleon Bonaparte's troops. They needed a way to feed the soldiers easily while they were moving in battle. Their food frequently spoiled before it could all be eaten and the soldiers were losing their battles because they were suffering from malnutrition. Before canning the soldiers had to subsist on food they killed, trapped, or stole.
