This is nothing new. I just wanted to pay homage to the little canned green bean.

This comes in handy if you notice that  your little one is starting to gain a little too much weight, and cutting back on the amount of food given will leave him or her feeling hungry.

Fill in the blanks with salt-free canned green beans. They will leave your pup feeling full without filling them out.

I tried looking for alternatives in the canned food aisle, freezer aisle, and even checked out the option of boiling up some fresh veggies that would have the same fill-em-up consistency (carrots, celery, and beets). None of them came close to the humble canned green bean.
