Let's pass it to Alblaka...
Also, food cans have a very low saturation (comparable to spider eyes), but it was his fault for not researching values properly and I didn't fix it yet.
Wait, how about we also add poisonous variations of canned food to avoid the zombie flesh and spider eye exploit?

As you wish.
But i don't think it will stop anyone from eating them.
I remember al saying once that tin can can be used to "eat without wasting", since the Canner convert 1 food recovered into tin can (So if a food recovered 3 bars, it will produce 3 tin cans).
Also the saturation to don't be hungry for a long while than regular food and i think al also liked that spider eyes and zombie meat stopped being poisonous when canned.
Cans only good because zombie meat can be used for it. So you can feed on zombie flesh and paint your house with macerated skeletons:)
But for practical uses, canned food is useless. It has lowest food value per slot occupied - 1/2, because you have to use one slot for empty cans too.
Your suggestion is a possible waste of food if you don't eat that food can when you are absolutely low in both saturation and hunger.
The joke of having the Food Can to be 1 food per can is to not waste any food eating.
I wish you could eat it when your hunger was full, the free heart is nice
