Another question: if making bulk food items for bulk meal "prep", I'm not boxing each and every days worth of food up....is it better for food to stay seperated and mixed when prepared to eat (ex, rice / ground beef / broccoli). Will food degrade more or less if mixed?

Answer: Separated. Food combined will spoil as fast as the fastest component. Example: butternut squash will deteriorate quicker than rice or beef. If combined the butternut squash will go bad first and limit the life of the other stuff.
