Dana Cowin Inspirational Quotes (6)

There's imperfect food out there that just needs a mouth to bite into it.

If we accept imperfect food, we can indeed change the world for the better.

If we could stop wasting food, imagine how many more people we could feed!

Check out the produce bin in your fridge or your cabinet before you buy more. When you see something on the verge of going bad, freeze it, turn it into a sauce, make jam.
