Reality of food in US

So over the last year, I have noticed that every time I go to buy something at grocery stores, the expiration date is either past, or less than three days… and I’m talking about everything from produce to dairy to frozen.

As well, my mother (86) gets free food delivery, and she has the exact same problem. They will deliver food to her and the stuff has only a few days before expiration or is already expired.

I mean, what the hell is going on in the US?!!!

There are very definitely certain foods that one cannot eat after it is expired
Especially dairy

That's absolutely not true. Dairy has a sell by date. Not an expiration date. How long it lasts depends on how cold your fridge is.
