    Lpt: replace all - and i mean all the snacks and prepackaged food with fruits and vegtables or just healthy things. Watch, as these thi gs will last for seemingly forever. Until you’ll be forced to eat them. It’s funny

        Keep them in a well ventilated space, if they rot too quickly it may be due to ethane making them ripen too fast. A mixed fruit bowl is one of the worst possible ways to store fruit.

        Apples offgas ethane as an example, making other things around them ripen faster. In a cool, ventilated environment where you replace the ethane with something inert they can last over the winter.

        I tend to get 1-2 weeks of shelf life from fruit, though I tend to only buy the stuff that stores well. (apples, bananas, oranges etc.)

      In my experience, without the drive of ‘I need to eat better’ really being cemented into your soul, this will just result in everyone covertly buying snacks and letting tons of fruit go to waste.

      People do seem to like nuts though, barring a legitimate reason like an allergy; I don’t think I’ve met anyone that dislikes nuts.

      I bought a cantaloupe recently. It sat there for a week because I didn’t want to cut it. Then when I cut it, it disappeared within hours.
