Manage episode 370748953 series 3340809
On this week’s episode of Inside the Village, Frisco and Scott talk groceries. More specifically, do best before dates lead to more food waste? A new report on grocery affordability from a House of Commons committee argues that Canada should scrap best before dates because a lot of people wrongly believe they indicate whether a product is safe to consume. University of Guelph economist Mike Von Massow returns to the show with some food for thought. Spoiler alert: the professor eats items that are well past their best before dates. Also on the podcast: Why Google has joined Facebook in promising to block Canadian news from its platform.
