How to tell when food has gone bad
One way to save money is to not throw food in the garbage. Adjusted to our 2008 economy, an average family of four tosses out $1,039 annually, regardless of income, ethnicity, education, and other socio-economic factors.
On the other hand, we are all concerned about food safety. No one wants to get sick. The International Food Information Council (IFIC) Foundation has created a series of videos to help you determine when food has gone bad and is no longer safe to eat. The short videos (less than 5 minutes each) feature Christine Bruhn, PhD, Director of the Center for Food Safety Research at the University of California, Davis, CA.

We had a discussion last night at a meeting regarding the ‘green bags’ consumers can purchase to keep food longer. The question can up — do they really work?
What do we know about these bags??
I’ve found that if I store food in see through containers so I can tell what’s in it, I’m more likely to use it before it goes bad. No kidding. It makes for a transparent landscape… the leftovers can run, but they can’t hide!
