the date on milk cartons is the sell by date, not the expiration date. most foods should be good for at least a week after the sell by date as long as they're stored properly.

I have developed what I believe is an ethical argument for consuming animal-based products. I'm going to go ahead and call it:

"The domesticated animal/human pact of symbiotic benefit".

To put it briefly, all animals that have been domesticated for the purpose of consumption have become reliant on human intervention for their species to survive, despite the violent means in which humans use them for their own benefit.

If humans stopped raising domesticated animals for consumption, it would surely result in the extinction of their number. Nobody can afford the cost to raise these animals if there is no benefit to be gained from them.

Now philosophically, I believe that it is better to live and sometimes suffer, than to never even exist at all. This seems to be the option given when debating whether raising animals for consumption is ethical. Is it more beneficial to an animal for a human to guide it's birth and raise it into adulthood just to slaughter it, than for that animal to never even exist? I think it is, and I would choose that life over non-existence.

So the next time you take a bite into that burger, think about how you are allowing an animal to live a life, and that there is nothing wrong with that.
