Remember? I am the guy (along with you and some others) trying to make clear that cans still go bad.
From upthread:
“my tomato sauce never goes bad...”
Now I am sure you know how to tell if something is bad or not. I tend to think most prepper types do. And I’m not arguing in any way that people shouldn’t be cautious.
What I’m mostly arguing against is the people who get all bent out of shape if something is a couple days past “Best used by...” date. Properly canned stuff can easily last five years and in many cases, much, much longer.
If a six year old kid can open a jug of milk and tell you it’s bad, why do so many adults need a date on the label?
To me, it’s a bigger problem than just a date on a label. It’s the whole mentality where people can’t seem to take care of themselves and need to be told something. A dependent class, of sorts. And who do they most times end up depending on?
Government.
If/when SHTF, I’ll be willing to contribute and work and help others out. But I ain’t gonna help slackers. You either (I don’t mean you personally) work and contribute something or you are on your own and will probably starve or freeze or die of cholera or somesuch.
