Morrisons scraps 'use by' date on milk in favour of sniff test.

And here we are. The Eternal Anglo (which really should be a sub) has decided that food on its way to spoiling is simply food that's being wasted.

Supermarket Morrisons is to scrap 'use by' dates on most of its milk in a move it says will stop millions of pints being poured down the sink. The retailer will instead place 'best before' on 90% of its own-brand milk and encourage customers to use a sniff test to check quality.

Unless they're letting customers open the milk before purchasing it, there's a chance the market will use this as an opportunity to sell milk nobody would rightly purchase otherwise in order to pinch as many pennies as Scrooge-ly possible.

Of course, "the environment" is cited as a reason to do this.

Mr Goode said: "Wasted milk means wasted effort by our farmers and unnecessary carbon being released into the atmosphere.

Morrisons has already scrapped 'use by' dates across some of its own-brand yogurt and hard cheese ranges.

Given how easy it is to sue people in UK courts, it's only a matter of time before a few choice food poisoning lawsuits will cause this to revert.

A friend of mine dubbed this the point in which England is no longer a white country. They're officially niggers.

I'm finding it hard to disagree.

Party skimmed, just like a bong to do things half way!
Why not just put chalk in water?
