Why doesn’t fruit have an expiration date?

Are you an expiration date rebel? Do you laugh at the cryptic date branded into the side of milk cartons and yogurt containers? I don’t follow those expiration dates because I think they are a big conspiracy for you to throw out perfectly good food with the fear that it has spoiled. How do they know that the yogurt will only be good for 10 days? Where’s the scientific evidence that they’ve used to come to this conclusion – and why don’t that share that information with us? I’m just supposed to take their word for it – I don’t think so! Some things that really don’t require an expiration date have one – like bread. Many plastic tabs on the bread have expiration dates printed on them. Seems like a bad idea all around. Who keeps those tabs long enough to realize the expiration date? Some things should come with expiration dates but don’t – like fruits and vegetables. I think fruit could benefit from expiration dates much more than bread. Then there are those packaged consumables that have expiration dates that really mean nothing – like Oreos. Even if its month’s after the cookies have expired, I’m still going to eat them. I'm not giving into the conspiracy!
