Food Safety Talk 198: Very Old Molasses (with Rachael Jackson)

Today the guys are joined by special guest Rachael Jackson from the Eat Or Toss website. Rachel talks about how she got started doing her website, and the guys chime in with how some of their favorite extension questions have been answered on the site. From there the discussion turns to food waste in general, and some of the initiatives and activities all three have been involved with on the topic. Rachel asks a question about the risks of centrally located composting drop-off locations, before an interesting digression on how composting might influence food waste. Rachel asks about leftover food safety recommendations, as well as some very old molasses and kombucha. Ben is sure he knows why the recommendation for leftovers is 3 to 5 days in the fridge, but Don is sure it's not that scientific. In after-dark, Ben proves Don is wrong.EatOrTossHoly sprouts!
