REFLECTION QUESTION
Food

How does knowing the difference between use by, sell by, and best by dates empower you to make better decisions?
Aaron Harrison 4/30/2020 11:36 AM
Its more about your health you need to realize that when the date shows the recommend time frame to use before the drink or food no longer is right to eat. For example when the milk expires on let say 4/29/20 the next day i no longer want to drink the milk because i feel it no longer is fresh and respected enough to drink. Remember folks don't take the risk of eating or selling food that weeks or months old. You will regret t physically, mentally and emotionally.

Fresh Water

Despite what's going on in our world don't be afraid to adapt. I've been going out walking every day at least walking 2 miles a day while changing up my food habits and eating more natural fresh fruits and vegetables.
