Now I'm kind of insulted
Now look. I realize beggers can't be choosers and I'm grateful for being given food. And when we get food from the food pantry, I work really hard to find meals I can make out of it even if it's not the type of food I would buy for myself and even if it's stuff I don't really like that much. It's free and it's a gift and I mostly eat it.
And sometimes I eat food that's a little past the expiration date because sometimes it's still good. But six months? Come on. Who gives old cheese to the food pantry? And why is the food pantry giving out expired food?
That seems insulting to me. It's like saying, "Well, we couldn't sell this old cheese to anyone but since you're poor and can't buy your own cheese, you can eat it anyway. You don't deserve good cheese, or healthy food, or food that isn't way past its expiration date." Maybe I'm overreacting... but I'm insulted.

(I do understand what you are saying and where you are coming from. I get why you feel insulted. Hopefully it was just an oversight and NOT just the way things are done.)

I'm a "cut the mold off the cheese and eat it" kind of girl myself. But my boyfriend won't eat anything past the date on it.. he doesn't care what kind of date it is. He will even throw out stuff that isn't past its date if it has been open for more than a week or two. He threw out some pickles that had been in the fridge for 2 months (in a jar, with the lid on).. I was like "Baby, they're PICKLES for goodness sakes! The whole reason you pickle stuff is to keep it from spoiling!" lol
So I understand your desire to chunk the cheese regardless of whether its still technically safe to eat.

I don't see any mold on this cheese. But I still don't plan to eat it.
