Expiration Dates and Food Waste

Expiration dates are often arbitrary and can contribute to unnecessary food waste. Many people find themselves buying products like yogurt or cream cheese, only to have them spoil before they can consume them. The discussion highlights the idea that dairy items should be available in single-serving sizes to avoid waste, similar to the cream cups used in coffee shops. This shift could allow consumers to purchase only what they need, reducing the amount of food that goes stale or unwanted in their fridges.
