As someone who is intimately familiar with the warehouse it doesn't happen. Those dates are put on at the factory where most every other brand is packaged as well. It is just been stored for way too long, not that it makes a huge difference for this particular product.

Also to be said, thank you immensely for what you do. I know casework is equally difficult and rewarding in large proportions. Without your determination lots of people would be left behind in ruin, my partner being one of them. Know there are others struggling with you in the battle against poverty and you aren't alone.

Former smoker, personally. Partner and myself are formerly homeless. You do have a point and boundaries are very important. But I can remember that mentality very clearly, the conflict avoidance, the need for commiseration and socialization, the general inability to see the exploitative systems as greater than the individual in front of you. Just understanding Maslow's hierarchy of needs and the effects poverty has on general cognition and awareness was impossible. It took slipping in and out of it a few times to really understand how it affects your perception and ability to navigate your social environment effectively.
