Severl of us have explained to you multiple times *why*. Either you're
having a parsing problem, or you don't understand anything to versionning
but in all cases you should try to educate yourself a minimum before
repeating the same question in loops.

No, it's quite the opposite, almost everyone in this thread explained to
you that bacteria don't develop in cold and that's the reason it's better
to keep food. But you deliberately (or maybe inconsciously because you
don't know what bacteria are) wipe out these explanations and pretend
nobody explained the reason to you.
Please re-read all responses, everything is there. I thought my explanation
was detailed enough to understand why it works that way, and Ingo explained
it in great details again. So please now make an effort to try to read what
people explain and stop pretending they refuse to respond, that's getting
really irritating.
The fact that you're the only one to ask this in loops should ring a bell,
it seems like many people managed to understand, either before this thread
or during this thread. It's up to you, I don't think that insisting on
people to explain the same things to you in many different ways will solve
your problems, really.

Willy
