I have slept with my food in my tent and I have cooked and eaten in my tent (vestibule) when the weather sucked.
However...I think that if I was in an area with enough of a bear problem that required the use of a bear canister, I would avoid cooking or having food odors at my tent.
Why would a problem bear pay attention to a canister when the spilled food and crumbs are at the tent?
