It is a empowering to know that these dates are determined by the producers and are not regulated by the federal government. This makes me believe that these dates may be skewed in order to influence the amount of purchased product lost to spoilage. I feel comfortable keeping products past the expiration date if a “Best if Used By/Before” or “Sell by” label is used on the product. A “Use by” label should be taken more seriously on animal products. Always examine your food before cooking and let that be the determining factor.

Why do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places?
-Citizens within more developed nations experience higher levels of infrastructure and commerce within the health, agronomy, and food distribution sectors. This makes meat readily available for mass consumption and has established a societal preference for meat products.
How does eating more meat affect our bodies, our planet, and other people?
-The overconsumption of meat is linked to serious health concerns including cardiovascular diseases and increased risk of stroke or heart attack. Our planet also experiences many environmentally degrading processes in response to western society's meat-centric preference. CAFOs produce a major portion of all greenhouse gas emissions and are also responsible for causing hydrological and aquatic damages. Consuming a meat centric diet drives these processes, and in turn, worsens the environment for others and near future generations.
