What do you think the percentage is of Americans who throws out good food (even junk food) based on the expiration date? I mean - they do so not because the food might be stale but because they believe it suddenly became possibly toxic to eat.

What's the percentage for non-food stuff like soap? The other day I noticed my liquid hand soap has an expiration date for whatever reason. I better hurry up - I only have two years left of it being safe.
I started thinking about it after I read this...
"Good thing I read the labels and dates before I opened or ate anything. I avoided potential food poisoning and/or a trip to urgent care by paying attention."
It's from an Amazon review. After they checked the label - they learned the package was delivered with an expiration date two weeks past. They are talking about a Ruffles potato chip variety pack.
I thought kosher was a Jewish thing, not a zionist thing
It is Jewish thing but it doesn't feel right for me to use it right now. It makes me think of Israel. I don't want to use any word that makes me think of Israel.

Edit
For the record - I'm a Jewish and America. Calling myself a "Jewish-American" sounds so silly. And I don't want to use any word that makes me think of Israel.
this is the line of thinking that ultimately leads random Jewish people in the diaspora to get randomly attacked tbh.
That probably sounds insane given that what youre saying is very far from that but I guess just try to keep in mind that Judaism =/= Zionism
seems like some internalized antisemitism or something from OP
i mean you decide what words you use but announcing you're not selecting yiddish even though you know it =/= israel seems like it'd just make jewish people uncomfortable
Yeah its not a great association or implication
