The best before date indicates how long the contents of the container is at the height of freshness in an unopened container. But that doesn't mean you should dispose of it once it's past that date. - I did not know this....I have thrown out yogart and condiments if they are expired automatically. I just thought that is what you are suppose to do! I will now have smell and a look and keep some of these things longer. This is going to save me so much $$, decrease waste!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food Reduce Animal Products

In your opinion, what contributes to people in North America eating more meat than any other countries? What does this say about North American values and ways of living?

Beth Corey 4/11/2019 4:28 AM

I don't think it has anything to do with values and more to do with ways of living what we know. Food preparation and choices of foods can be hereditary. We do what we know and what we have known. I cook like my Mom...she prepared and served meat and potatoes for every supper! I just always thought that is what you are suppose to do. I have learned to make delicious meatless meals - and I can see that my grown children don't have that assumption that you always have to eat meat for supper. It will take a generation living and eating differently to make a difference.

  This is so true: "It will take a generation living and eating differently to make a difference."
  
  Your are right, sometimes it goes deeper than that conscious choices we make. I never thought about it like that.
  
  Thanks for giving me something to ponder.
  
  (p.s. glad that you checked in 🤓)
