My wife seems to think that somehow food -- a wedge of cheese or a can of soup or a couple of steaks -- inherently knows its exact expiration date, and becomes unfit for human consumption EXACTLY on that date.
I tend to think those are dates that are merely designed to protect the manufacturer's backsides, and the food is so loaded with preservatives (in most cases) that it will last LONG AFTER the alleged expiration.
Do you consume food AFTER it allegedly "expires"?
