    Food Learn the Truth About Expiration Dates
    How does knowing the difference between use by, sell by, and best by dates empower you to make better decisions?

    Sell by date is specifically for the seller telling them how long they can keep the item on a shelf. This has nothint to do with the freshness or quality of the food. The use by date is for the consumer indicated the last day the food quality will be at it's best quality. The best by date is simply what quality the food is going to be and consumers prefrence in tatse and texture. If feel that best by date would empower me to make better and know that I have time to consume the food and be more open to trying different textures. Ex- ripe Banana

    This whole week I really enjoyed walking to campus for my classes and event. It gave me time to think and enjoy scenery. It's making me think that probably over the Summer I will rent a bike and go to class that way instead of driving to the stadium everyday.
