“Most of you may not realize that Subway (a place I think of as somewhat healthy) just removed a plastic stabilizer from their bread recipe.”
....Did he sign the petition to ban hydrogen dioxide as well?
I ignore that type stuff you would believe the grief I’ve been give over the fact that I store white sugar!!! But a southren boy has to have his sweet tea!!!
They removed azodicarbonamide from their bread.
Now I have floor to ceiling storage along 2 walls in the basement. That's 30 feet of shelves. I buy stuff on sale by the case or cases depending on how much I know we will use.
New purchases and long term 10-20 year stuff goes on the bottom shelves(also under beds and anywhere else I can stash them out of sight). The shelf at eye level and the ones directly above and below it are current usage stuff.
The top shelf has boxes that are labeled with content for stuff like water filters etc. The first shelf next to the door is where stuff that needs to be used within a month are stacked to make sure that they don't get lost. The veggies etc. are all stacked together just like in a grocery store.
I can see at a glance what we have used and need to replace, but I have a list hanging on the Refrigerator and every time we open a can or bottle I just put it on the list. When stuff goes on sale I check the list to see how many replacement cans we need.
When a case of veggies is used up, I just take a case from the next use by date and move it up to the eye level shelves.
Now, it is very rare that I ever have expired dates on the food we have stored. The little 2 foot pantry now holds a lot of the gardening stuff, charcoal lighter, cleaning supplies etc.
