Entrepreneur from Maryland (USA) decided to study the confusing the nature of the indicated shelf life of food products and for this I ate expired whole year.
This idea occurred to Scott Nash purely by accident. His an unusual experiment began three years ago when a man ate yogurt that was six months “older” than its term shelf life. One spring, Nash forgot yogurt in his fridge an old house in virginia and discovered it only by returning there in the fall. At that time, at least six months have passed since then. product expiration date, but this did not stop the man (for some reason it didn’t frighten) mix yogurt with your smoothie and drink. He didn’t feel anything unusual or bad taste, and not even the slightest problems arose with health. This made Scott to think about how manufacturers use the term shelf life of products in their interests, and whether it is worth trusting the date, affixed to the packaging.

They are very vague, these expiration dates, says Nash. therefore food dating system should be reviewed, not to mention that there are products, such as salt, which expires Shelf life is not needed at all.
During the year-long experiment, Scott Nash and his family consumed yogurts that were “outdated” by seven, eight, or even nine months, meat that has “stale” a few weeks after expiration date, and so on. Once Scott even used butter, which decently moldy after after being left in the refrigerator for several months. Chapter families just scraped off the mold and used oil for cooking. And again, no one has a single sign poisoning! ..
Nash admits that some products deteriorate and their need to be thrown away, however, watch should, again, not for a period shelf life. If food looks unnatural, smells bad, or has unpleasant taste, you, of course, should not use it. Is there some more such a unique tool as intuition, but few people are used to it trust. Most people suffer from what Nash calls “obsessive consumer anxiety,” which is literally fascinates them, forcing to throw out (destroy) quite good landfill products – and only because of expired shelf life. Most of the food in developed countries is thrown away precisely for this reason.
Scott also notifies readers of his “planned” blog. obsolescence, “that is, a special strategy that corporations use to encourage consumers to throw away good products and buy more and more new.

This practice is so out of control of any inspection bodies, which makes me doubt honesty manufacturers, Nash complains. By the way, the same applies to non-food consumer goods that artificially “age” so that they fail as soon as possible. When we throw such things away, corporations get extra profit.
Interestingly, the FDA, independent experts and industry product manufacturing generally agree that literate and an objective approach to business will help reduce the amount of food waste, but there’s currently no federal law in the US, regulatory shelf life, so product manufacturers may write whatever they want on them. About the same picture observed in other highly developed countries of the world.
Meanwhile, tens of millions of people on our planet are dying from hunger, and most of them are children. Is it not paradoxical this is?..
