I guess I'm in the minority here. I'm a look and smell person too! LOL. I do tend to cook a lot of things with an acid base and I think that helps preserve it. Like someone else mentioned tomatoes...
I know all the facts with bacteria, etc (we call them bugs because DH used to work with 'em all the time), but I think it depends on what you've been doing all your life. Your body builds up immunity to whatever you deal with. It's likely that your SO would get sick from things that your immune system is prepared for.
I also NEVER throw away buttermilk or yogurt despite the expiration date.
