I used to be very worried about the expiry dates on food (I sometimes still am).

If you’re worried whether food is still OK to eat, just smell it.

Respond to the following statements with agree or disagree.
1. You shouldn’t eat any food after it’s dropped on the floor.
2. You shouldn’t eat any food with mold on it.
3. And you shouldn’t eat any food after the Use-By date posted on it.
Robert Fulghum explains the “expiry date” both literally & figuratively.
