Chill Out
There is a history of humankind, a deep account of the rising and falling of human cultures, to be written around the simple fact that food rots. Goes bad. Sours and spoils.
It's one of those problems so deep in human history and so intrinsic to human experience that, admittedly, we hardly notice it anymore.

As I noted, Porter's
