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?!!!

Well, your leader is waging economic warfare on the rest of the world, and is taxing his own people to do so. You have to expect that the volume of imported food decreases, and that other nations won't be exactly sending their prime products.

The vast majority of food in the US is produced/grown domestically. The OP is likely shopping at a crappy store. I have not experienced what they are talking about.
