[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your mom.us a good cook than she can assess the meat without looking at the expiration date. What is sanitizing countertops? 
Nothing is wrong with the old stuff. I prefer lettuce with nothing as my "salad". 
There are studies about expired medications, in most cases they are okay. I probably have expired sauces and milk in my fridge because I didn't buy them and I don't use them, but somebody bought them for thanksgiving. [/quote]

30+ year old medication is not ok. A few years yes. But there is a limit. So you have never heard of Salmanella? That is why you sanitize areas that have been in contact with raw meat.  So throw the expired milk/sauces away. What are you keeping gross expired stuff for? Just because someone else brought them doesn’t mean you have to keep them rotting in your fridge.[/quote]

Google is your friend. Look for the study conducted by the Food and Drug Administration at the request of the military. Expiration date is a manufacturer guarantee of the effectiveness not the actual effectiveness or safety.[/quote]

Sure. But food and drugs expire eventually.  They are not good forever.  Are you also the kind of person that scoops the mold out of food and eats the rest?[/quote]

Depends on the food. [/quote]

Veg mold is ok. Meat mold not so much. Fish mold is really bad. Cooking thru doesn't help with fish. It makes meat edible if you cook it for a day. You can eat moldy veg as-is. However, there is a reason it all tastes horrible. Real yogurt does not expire, it just gets more and more sour. Moldy cheese is the best but it's an acquired taste.

[b]My FIL shits in the living room. He is somewhat (but not totally) immobile. He can make it to the toilet but just doesn't bother. So he has a hospital shit-chair in the living. I am pressured by my DW to chat with him and while FIL is a nice guy and I enjoy our chats, that shit-chair and the unavoidable smell is unbearable. He will nit budge (his daughters are very protective and try to maximize his comfort) nor will he have his shit-chair removed during our visits, because "just-in-case".[/quote][/b]

That's revolting! Not sure how anyone could visit and 'chat' with a full toilet-chair in the room. Why don't one of the daughters clean the darn thing after he uses it?![/quote]
