Eat Ugly Food! say the students of The HEAL Project

Blemishes are beautiful.

Kids on a field trip with The HEAL Project to the San Mateo County School Farm came up with good ideas to reduce food waste. They imagined advertisements for "ugly foods” and created posters to get your attention.

Reduce, reuse, recycle…

We love the messages in these posters, for the enthusiasm and creativity you see in the illustrations, composition, and…spelling. Here are three to enjoy.

Reuse Ugly food! Because they are the same! Comparowsin [side by side strawberries ]
