There was a phone in on the radio the other day about supermarkets putting dodgy dates on food ,thus encouraging consumers to throw out food past its use by date .
Well an old lady phoned in and funny enough it was the same advice my gran gave me a long time ago ,if it looks ok smells ok and tastes ok then funnily enough no matter what date it is 99.9999999% of the time it will be ok ,
As she pointed out back in them days they didn,t even have fridges so the best device around was curiously enough your eyes and your nose ,in other words people used common sense, a practice a lot of people could do with trying these days.
My missus wont do it but i eat loads of things with the date up its just a big con trick for super markets to make more money , i have even been known to cut the mould off the cheese and eat it i am still alive so cant be bad for you .
