📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses the launch of “The Daily Table,” a hybrid grocery/restaurant that sells prepared foods and produce even after sell-by dates, building on the claim that many date labels are confusing and that a large portion of discarded food is still edible. The main question implied is whether such past-date foods are safe or merely a taste-quality issue, with references to arguments that many “use by/sell by/enjoy by” dates are not strictly about safety. Overall sentiment appears cautious/curious rather than strongly supportive, reflecting mixed concern about food waste versus consumer safety.

The Daily Table is a hybrid grocery store and restaurant, selling prepared foods, fruits and vegetables. Doug Rauch, former president of Trader Joe's, will only sell food past its sell-by date and will aim the business at lower income Boston consumers.
In the United States 40 percent of food is trashed because it's past due dates. Some of these "use by," "sell by" and "enjoy by" dates are confusing to consumers and not really about food safety but taste, says Dana Gunders, a food scientist working with the Natural Resources Defence Council (NRDC), who say a great deal of food that's labeled as bad is really perfectly edible.
