What does it mean to be a Mindful eater?

A Mindful Eater is someone that is passionate about reducing food waste. In order to combat food waste, Mindful Eaters shop smart and raise awareness in order to help bring an end to the global food waste issue.

Apt Ads, an agency out of Rochester, NY, created a colorful campaign to not only spread awareness on food waste but to show shoppers different ways they can help combat this growing issue.

Why is it such a big deal?

Food is wasted at every stage of
production. This amounts to:
• One-third of consumable food
• 1.6 billion tons yearly
• 40% of all food at retail never leaving shelves

What the heck can I do?

Products with the Mindful Eater Approved Seal have been verified by the campaign to help combat the food waste issue. These products are:
• Packaged with
smaller portions
• Produced by companies aiming to
reduce waste

Shop smart and realistically.

Take this loaf of bread. By buying only what you can consume, you can help reduce food waste and save money.Other items that feature the Mindful Eater Approved Seal include companies who create minimal portions, which allows consumers benefits in financial savings and freshness.

Product disclaimer: The Mindful Eater Approved Seal is not associated with any of the companies. This is strictly for a class project.


Don't forget to use the recyclable bag to help spread awareness about food waste!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
