    I had not heard the term silvopasture before. I think the biggest advantage of a silvopasture is the shade the trees bring to the cows. This makes the cows less stressed, which has a lot of further advantages.

    Now that I know the difference between use by, sell by, and best by dates I will view expiration dates way differently. I will no longer think of expiration dates as the safety date and only thing of them as a “maybe I should check this and make sure its good” date.

      I agree! as i continue to educate myself on this, makes me realize how much food waste we can avoid if this was adopted by everyone!

    A plant based diet has a huge impact on our forests. The higher demand for products like meat and dairy the more land needed to produce these things, which means the more trees are cut down.
