Part 3/8:
Misunderstanding and Misuse of Expiration Dates
The speaker delves into how many people, especially younger individuals unfamiliar with life before stringent expiration dates, irrationally panic at the sight of a passed expiration date. This fear is exacerbated by a litigious environment where sharing food past its expiration can lead to legal repercussions. He highlights the absurdity of such regulations, particularly when they bar donations of currently consumable food to those in need.
