removing sell by dates will also reduce marker usage as corner shops will no longer need to alter the dates to make them appear in date
of course we need sell by dates , stuff comes in plastic wrapping these days so you cant inspect food properly , also dont fancy having to walk back to a shop after doing my shopping because teh milks off or get lumbered with a 2 year old chicken thats been stuck at teh bottom of a freezer
its not liek the good old days , our food comes from all over the world and not from the farmer down the road
i quite like been able to tell if my bread is 1 day old or 3 days old it makes all the difference
eggs could have a longer sell by date on them because they keeep way beyond what they print on them , i may be wrong here but i think if an egg floats in a pan of water it means its bad
