On first reading this I thought it was missing the last word 'leave'.
"You eat what you can, and what you can't eat, you can leave. "

Yes, I agree; it is a play on words.
As Duncan said, it's not very practical though. The average person does not have the wherewithall to can food. We do
preserve food (especially fruit) but that is done in sealed preserving jars.
And good to see you back on the forum, Takashi.
