Expiration/Sell by dates on food - do you pitch it no matter what?

Remember this when you need a colonoscopy.

 

I wait until they expire on purpose, just to keep my biomes strong.

 

Sounds like some preemptive self-righteous assery to me.

 

I never go by dates. Taste and smell only. My aunt used to work at a local food shelf that had to throw out food after expiration dates. She would bring it out to the family farm to feed to the goats. I usually went through it first, and there was always plenty of good food that had plenty of time left in it, lol!

There is actually a small chain of grocery stores in my area that is licensed to sell expired food. I do a lot of my shopping there.. I have never in my life gotten food poisoning.

 

Your tapeworm probably eats all the Salmonellosis.

 

I should have added that I do parasite cleanses regularly.

 

Damn straight!

 

I agree with eating expired foods or leftovers that are probably too old. However, it is dudes like you, not taking all the antibiotics, that are making it so bacteria are becoming resistant to certain drugs. Knock that shit off.

 

A1, poor man's HP Sauce.

Quite a lot of meds are perfectly good a couple to three years after the use by date. As they get old they become less effective at treating the thing that they're prescribed for, they are not going to poison you.

 

If it is a "sell by" or "best by" date, I go by look and/or smell as long as it isn't too far past. Sometimes they get thrown out before that by look or smell.
For "use by dates", I pretty much follow them.

* Chop or dice all veg
* Put olive oil in the pot
* Turn on hi
* Add onions when oil is hot
* Leave for a bit but every now and again stir / flip
* Once brown add diced tomatoes
* Stir a bit to mix in the onions and the tomatoes together
* Leave for a min until the tomatoes are hot
* Once this has heated up add coconut milk stir well
* Once this has heated up add all other veg and pineapple
* The smaller you chop the veg the easier and quicker it is to cook
* Stir well so everything is covered by the liquid in the pot
* Leave for a bit and stir occasionally just make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom of the pot
* Wash the bag of lentils & split peas with the strainer and shake them out.
* Add the lentils and stir in well
* Turn down heat from high to medium/low (if high is 9 turn down to 4/3)
* Leave all to cook
* Stir every 5 - 10 mins depending on the type of pot you have
* Add beans about 20 mins after the lentils.
* It takes beans a lot less time to heat up then cooking the lentils
* Once beans are in just let it sit and cook
* Stir every 10 mins
* Add extra seasoning if you like - I recommend a LOT!
* Cooking time should be about an hour to get it thick
* If too thick add another can of coconut milk to thin it
* U will know once it is done as the lentils will be nice and soft

 

Bread mold is the only thing that gets something pitched automatically.

 

I used to hate bread mold but now I kinda wanna see it. Kinda scary actually cause we are all eating plasti-bread.

 

Lots of mold will make you ill, some of it’s yummy, but bread mold will kill you.

 

Every racer knows to keep unused pain medications indefinitely. I always carry some with me when I'm away from home any distance. You just never know when you might need it to get you home to your Doctor.

 

"Mama told me when I was young..."

 

I never knew there was such a thing as leftover scallops.
Next you'll be claiming there's something called leftover swordfish.

 

The purpose of buy by/use by dates is to let
the merchant know when the manufacturer
wants that product off the shelf, it doesn't
tell you what needs to be discarded.
You'll see expiration dates on bags of rice
that will last for 40 years easily.

Your nose and your eyes will tell you if something
is still good or not.

And when people get food poisoning, they usually
it from a restaurant or family-prepared food that
has not been handled in a sanitary fashion and/or
food not held at safe temps. People taking a dump
and not washing their hands is a big cause.

 

I remember way back when bread got moldy, have not seen that in years

 

Factory breads are incredibly bad for the human body.
Meaning anything on the bread shelf at the supermarket. Get their bakery bread, or even better go to an actual bakery.
Different flour, different recipes, entirely different baking methodology.
Night and day difference in taste and how you feel after eating.
