[Margaret Pilkington]

I take very little notice of 'sell by' dates. I use what god gave me and what has caused man to survive for so long....my eyes, and my nose.
The sell by dates were put on foods by the food industry(probably at the behest of a 'nanny' government) to make people distrust their senses and to throw perfectly good food away.(more profits in it for the food giants) This, while half of the world starves.

Because of my upbringing, I find food waste sinful. I throw away nothing that can be used. I was born recycling.
