    date: SEPTEMBER 18, 2013
    what was the research: The labeling system is aimed at helping consumers understand freshness, but it fails - they think it’s about safety

    What was the result: huge amounts of food, not to mention considerable natural resources and labor, go to waste in landfill and taxes, and harm the environment.]]>     2018-03-19 13:52:59 UTC https://padlet.com/howargra000/vab5yy4duom8/wish/243494702     2nd Research Study howargra000 https://padlet.com/howargra000/vab5yy4duom8/wish/243998848 Who:Rose Eveleth
    Date: FEBRUARY 15, 2013
    What was the research:  Leaching of chemicals from packaging is a health concern, but as far as toxic chemicals go, you can get exposure to most of those chemicals from freshly bottled water as well as bottled water that has been on the shelf a while.

    What was the result:  water is bad; absence of an unpleasant flavor does not mean the water is free from contaminants.
