Chuck Norris once lost his keys and couldn't remember where he put them. So he tortured himself for half an hour until he gave up their location.

what happens really depends on the food....it could range from just tasting a bit wierd to causing serious illness depending on the food in question.
the motto i was taught: "when in doubt, throw it out!"My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.
When one door closes another door opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the ones which open for us.

Yeah, I know.
What I wanna know is what changes with the food at celular level or something like that. Food goes bad because of microbes? bacteria ? That is why I said scientific.

Is this scientific enough?
When you see the piece of steak start moving on it's own - It's time to throw it out

I asked this because I read that dehydrated foods usually last longer. I am trying to understand the whole process.

May have something to do with them having less water (or none, I don't know) and thus providing less sustenance to various food-spoiling bacteria/whatnot. But hey, I'm no biologist.Originally posted by Vieope

Yes, because it has no water it helps. But some bacterias, microbes grow in places with very hard conditions.
You remember that in some asteroids the possibilities to have such organisms exist, they can live without oxygen.

Ok not so scientific but here is my two cents. Dehydrated foods have no moisture. Moisture has to be present in order to start forming bacteria or fungus. Take a ear infection for example. Moisture got stuck in your ear causing an ear infection if there is no moisture there is no ear infection. Now look at it in a tottaly diffrent way. Take a swimming pool. A swimming pool is a breeding ground for bacteria and algae. Why because the pool is wet 24 hrs a day. Making that a breeding place for bacteria. If there wasnt chlorine all pools would be green. You could do an experiment with bread if you wanted to. Take a piece of fresh bread and leave sealed up in a bag and take a piece of fresh bread and toast it and put that one in a diffrent bag. The bread obviously holds water but when you toast it all of the water is removed. The bread that was not toasted is going to gain bacteria faster then the one that was toasted. Utimatley the toasted one will get bacteria because a plastic bag will create moisture.
Bottom line moisture has to be present in order for bacteria or fungus to live.He who speaks least, think's most.
