A bit of a rant on wasting food!

Please people, don't just throw perfectly good food away. Most especially when it's very expensive perfectly good food and still well within expiration dates!

Two and a half pounds of Ribeye steak at 11 US dollar a pound! Sell price 27.5! 😒

I don't care if you're rich or poor! Throwing away something like that is pure waste!

Expiry dates are merely suggestions.

@LunarOrbit when dealing with meat, poultry and fowl, it's best to follow those dates.

You can easily get sick on expired meat! I know this all too well having eaten it.

@DeWayfarer Meats are notorious for causing sickness because of improper storage or cooking. Luckily, meat gives off a bad smell, taste and colour when it spoils or starts to spoil. If you ignore those signs and just look at expiry dates, you will definitely get sick.
I’ve eaten alot of items past expiry dates without getting sick. Infact, I’ve never had food poisoning.
Expiry dates are a recent novelty(to increase consumption and sales)….prior to the last century, people actually had to think before they ate something. 🤓

@LunarOrbit I have ignored it many times. Nearly every time I got sick! 🤷‍♂️

Just my experience.

@DeWayfarer Sorry to hear that.
