From my sites-I-should-make-but-won’t (really this time!) mind, here’s an idea: there should be a site, a wiki really, which lists when things really go bad. For example, I know there is a “best before” date on my milk and my bread, but I *know* I can drink and eat it until the milk curdles or the bread gets moldy.

There’s a “best before” date on almost everything now; but I suspect it very rarely means that you actually HAVE to consume it before that date. Do vitamins really expire? I’d wager the dates are more so the companies can guarantee an acceptable level of quality in their product and so they don’t get complaints and returns.

Instead of listening to corporations, I’d really like to know the truth. Like, can I eat these spongy potatoes? they still look white when you peel them…
