Milk

What is it with people and fresh milk anyway? Went to Giant with Linus while ago, and the dude was searching the whole dairy section up and down for a carton of fresh milk. "You see, it's written here: Fresh Milk." Right...

My question here is: How does a person knows that the milk in the carton is fresh? Yes, I know that the label says that it's fresh milk, but is it really "fresh"?! Can we really trust what is labeled?! It says that the milk inside is fresh, but how fresh is the labeled-to-be fresh milk anyway? Was the milk milked yesterday? Two days ago? A week ago??

Another thing that puzzles me is this: From where and how do they determine when a carton of milk is going to expire? Do they like, milk the cow and ask: "Hey cow, when does this batch going to expire? Next week? Are you sure? Ok, let me write that down..."

Why stop at milk. What about bread? What about eggs?
