Catching Up With the Truth About Expiration Dates and Butter
It’s interesting. Over the last year and a half, I have taken a lot of flack because I had the audacity to encourage folks to use their food items well past the expiration date and have also advocated bottling your own butter. “You’re going to be responsible for killing people!” one woman wrote. “Who do you think you are?” said another. Well, folks, I still stand by my outlandish practice of ignoring expiration dates on food, and I don’t plan on dying from bottled butter either. But I did get a bit of satisfaction recently when one of the lame-stream media dared to support my position—albeit softly.
