Ralphie Posted October 22, 2017 Share #5 Posted October 22, 2017 On a side issue, I sure wish food had a "certain death if you eat it after" date intead of this bullshit "best by" or "sell by". "Use by" is at least a step in the right direction. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphie Posted October 22, 2017 Share #7 Posted October 22, 2017 I think it is basically 65, at least as far as wage slave work is concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously. He seems to be exceptionally healthy. A lot of health is based on things you can't control, such as genes, good luck and bike crashes.

Road Runner Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share #14 Posted October 22, 2017 It's hard to argue with a "best by" date. Whatever it is, it is certain to be better than the day after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerrySTL Posted October 22, 2017 Share #20 Posted October 22, 2017 My "best by" was when I was 35. At 63 YO, I'm still well within my personal 'use by' date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further Posted October 23, 2017 Share #23 Posted October 23, 2017 If we were playing a game of pick up anything, I know quite a few 50+ that I would pick over quite a few 30something that I also know, Best by date varies greatly. I was in the best shape of my life at 40. Coming up on 62 I'm heading down hill though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
