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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
