See, that experiment with the bread didn’t even test the pee method.That's it....
I'm going to start peeing in jars to keep them on hand..... er... so to speak.
Canned food is fine for storage. Most is "best by" for three years, though as that article notes a lot of canned food can be used longer. Actually, all those dates are pretty much irrelevant if you practice good rotation management. Eat what you store, store what you eat. Don't just throw it on a shelf and forget about it. Also, if you do have food that is coming close to "expiring", consider donating it to a food bank. They will distribute and use it quickly.
You do know that they’re probably still good right? Earlier in this thread someone posted an article on “expiration” dates. Hell, I’ve eaten WWII C-rations packed in the 1940’s with 18-1900’s tech?I work with a food bank at our church. Please, please, PUHLEEEEEZE pay attention. You would be surprised how many people will clean out their cupboards and donate to us because its been there a while and say "If I havent used it by now, I never will" and blindly throw it in a bag to donate. 9 out of 10 times it is WELL past the expiration date. We just threw away an entire donation last week of 3 half full paper grocery sacks of canned goods. Not a one of them was good within the past year. SMH.
Please give to us at least 3-6 months prior to the expiration date. Sometimes it doesnt fly off the shelves as fast as you think.

Ill bet the truly needy wouldn’t give a ****. But there’s always that one.I agree, they are still good. Its still not good form to give out expired food to folks.
You eating your own "expired" food is one thing. A food bank is different. In fact, no different than a store selling expired food. If it was a store, you might call the health dept for it.
Some might also call human dignity into the equation. It could be said that an organization that gives out expired food doesnt care about their patrons. And in the extreme leftist view, those orgs dont care about the patrons and consider them sub-human for giving them (officially) "spoiled" food.

I agree. But to be a good steward to the at risk and needy in the community, you must treat them with dignity and respect, and provide the absolute minimum socially acceptable aid. Which includes what is perceived as "new" unspoiled and unexpired foodstuffs. Used clothes are one thing, but food is another animal.
China now has over 400M people living under various levels of quarantine- more than the entire population of the US. Entire provinces (roughly equivalent to states) and multi-million person cities are under lock-down. Amazing.

I'll back Cameramonkey on this. I used to volunteer at a local food bank. They do have to maintain a reputation and do have laws/rules to follow. I know that specific food bank (which I still donate to periodically) rotates out food quickly which is why I said "coming close to expiring", but I'll take his word that some might take longer to distribute.
I don't give away food that is "expired", but instead eat it myself. I try to practice good rotation, but will eat my own mistakes when they happen.
Data from windy.com shows a massive release of sulfur dioxide gas from the outskirts of Wuhan, commonly associated with the burning of organic matter. Levels are elevated, even compared with the rest of China.
So we're assuming China is burning large quantities of bodies. Could you infer the infected count will be artificially deflated by reducing evidence, or just that China has decided it's the only safe way to dispose of infected corpses?
