Why can freezing foods help increase its shelflife?

It is a rather long process, but I will make it short. Food, at room temperature, will actually depend on what kind of food it is. With this in mind, it will determine how long it will take for that food to mold (spoil). Keeping it in a refrigerator or freezer will slow this process down sharply by limiting the movement of the food's molecular structure which in turn will make much less room for mold to start growing. However, it is not halted completely, and any and all foods will eventually spoil. Well, those foods that say will NEVER spoil are terribly bad for you, as they are loaded with preservatives.
