I've noticed personally that in the UK, the expiration dates are a lot more "accurate". By this I mean that if you buy something on or just before the expiration, you probably will need to consume it ASAP.

Whereas here in USA-land, they have ridiculously offset dates, so that you likely have many days/weeks before actual spoilage.

Sixty five years of prepackaged rubbish have created a consumer culture incapable of feeding itself.

The 2.5 lbs of assorted dry beans and 1 lb of rice I consume every week, the bulk of my diet, set me back all of maybe $5. Fresh fruit and veg to make it palatable, add another $75.

Italians will probably profit from this windfall. We wouldn't know how.

We have homemade soup 3-4 times a week during winter. There is not one processed food in the house unless the kid brings it.

We eat canned and frozen veggies because in most cases it's too difficult/wasteful to buy fresh.
But we eat what fresh we can.
And neither of us can stomach much of the processed stuff--no frozen entrees, no sauce from a jar, etc.
Which is not to say we don't or won't pile into some junk food.
