Food growing mold faster than usual?
Ever since I moved into my new apartment, my food has been growing mold at an extremely fast pace. I will buy bread and within 3-4 days, there will be mold already growing on it.
My friend suspects there is mold in the sink affecting the other food. I have looked everywhere for answers. Now you guys are my last hope. Please, if there is any insight you can give it is much appreciated.

The new place probably has higher humidity than you're used to. Maybe you live by a lake, maybe you have a swamp cooler now, or maybe something else is going on.
When I lived in a house with a swamp cooler, I usually kept the bread in the fridge to help it stay dry.

A lot depends on where you live. If you are in the desert (SW US, for example), you can sun-dry effectively. Place the food on screens (non-metalic) and cover with cheesecloth. Take it inside at sunset and put it out again in the morning. During the rainy season, fuhgeddaboudit. If you can't dry in the sun, you may be able to use your oven the same way. You don't need the cheesecloth. Your library should be loaded with books on various ways of preserving food, including drying..

It might depend on where you keep the food. I used to keep bread on top of the microwave and it spoiled way faster. Ever since I moved it the bread lasts much longer.

i would say that you need to just let the mold grow and then after a while ur food will build an immunity
