Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

I printed out the PDF for my elderly mom to help remind her, but the harder part is getting her to consistently date her food.
Get her more attractive food. I'll see myself out.
I'm just sad this joke didn't get more love, it was honestly exceptionally well played.
I like to use a sharpie to label when I open food that expires rather quickly. Gives me a good sense of things.
I don't know if this is just me, but are those dates the "this will make you sick/dead" or are those the "it's going to taste bad"?
Edit: I can read

Oh my parents just flat out refuse to date their food. They don't say it per se, but they definitely don't do a damn thing, despite me setting the example every chance I get.
Idk about this chart - I've had pizza reheated from the fridge almost a month after it was fresh, and regularly had it 2 weeks before eating the leftovers, with no problem at all.
I'm usually picky about leftovers, and that's my only regular reheated meal; but that's a big difference between 3-4 and 14-21+...
Its probably following a general guideline, so if ya have better luck or just a better gut those time tables may not apply. I for one use the "does it tate weird" method, this has lead to me eating expired MREs and freezer burned food.
Yeah, I look for weird discolorations and strange taste, smell, as my gauge.
What the heck are you doing that you eat month old pizza out of your fridge?
I just use freezer zipper bags and stuff a couple slices per bag. I get pizza regularly and I'll usually get a size larger than I want, so I can store a few slices and the next time I get hungry and it's too close to dinner for a real meal, but I don't want to gorge myself with cookies or whatever quick snacks I have around, I throw two slices into the microwave, hit pizza mode, and like 2 minutes later I'm ready to burn my mouth.
