Do you check the good till date on cans?

[wrongwayric]

Yep most of us probably don't, just open it up and if it smells good, just dump it in and eat it right?

I buy cases of chunky and campbells soup when they are on sale and i'm running low. Usually i'll pull the old stock to the front and put the new stuff in the back. Somehow 1 can of chicken noodle managed to get overlooked for about a year past the still good date. I ate it last night.

There are 2 ways your body voids things that are bad for you and about 2 hours after eating i was using both of them.

So check that date before you scarf it down.

I've cut my intake of Sodium drastically this year.   I'm still losing weight.

Bottled water as expiration dates, too.  Check those as well.

And congrats Masher!

  I lost some weight also. I'm sure there's nothing left in my intestines or fecal matter in my bowels. Food poisoning suxs big time. Think this is the 5th time i've had it, but only the first i gave it to myself. When i got it in the Phillipines i spent 2 days in the hospital with I.V.'s in me to replace the fluids i was spewing out. I'd rather have the flu than a case like that again.

I been drinking water all day long as i'm sure i was dehydrated pretty bad. Lasted about 6 hours before i felt like i could stand and leave the close proximity of the bathroom.

If you have food poisoning water doesn't help.   You've already crapped out the lining of your colon.    Drink G2 for a day or two.   Back to normal.    Water will just "go through" you.   

Most bouts of diarrhea are actually instances of "minor food poisoning".

I check the date on everything. Besides, with three boys, we don't keep food in the rotation very long anyhow.  Our 14 year old already wears 34 X 32 pants size ~ he's one big fella.  Seems sometimes like the only time we've seen that boy is when his tail's sticking out of the fridge or out of the pantry.

None of us have ever been sick from that sort of thing (thankfully).  Hope it stays that way, and I hope you're already on the mend!

Only on the fat cans near "Last Call".

Been mixing water and gatorade seems to have helped nicely. Actually just ate some mushroom soup and a cheese sandwich and it's still down.

Yes i checked the date! Ain't making that mistake twice.

I think I've found your weight. Was 195 (fighting weight)...took 6 months off from the gym last summer, now I'm @ 205 and maintaining.

Maintaining what?  25 lbs of undigested beef?

[Shamus]

If the can is not bulging I open it and heat it up.

If it doesn't make noise when you open the can, the food is still good- you're just a wuss.

[BaDkaRmA158Th]

If its not six to eight months or more, past the due date, eat it.
Or your weak kind will not survive.

OH and you can use the diarrhea to shed some pounds, provided you survive.



Do it up wus'boi
