One innocent-looking fact that really shifted my perspective was learning that honey never spoils. Archaeologists have found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000 years old and still perfectly edible. This simple fact made me appreciate not just the longevity and resilience of natural products, but also the incredible history and culture surrounding food preservation. It shifted my view on how we perceive expiration dates and the throwaway culture we often find ourselves in. It reminded me to value the natural processes and resources we have, and to think more about sustainability in my own life.
