“I’ve worked in kitchens for more than ten years and produced marketing campaigns for packaged goods companies for almost thirty years” says Jeffrey Miller. “The turning point for me came when, as a volunteer chef at La Soupe, I watched customers gladly purchased soups and sandwiches despite the use of the “ugly” produce that was on display.” Using rescued food to feed hungry people is undoubtedly a praiseworthy act but I believe the true sea-change in food waste reduction will come at the hands of chefs who will not only make ugly food commercially viable, but also motivate those who cook at home to be more will to use aging produce.

“I love seeing this exploration of how to change consumer perceptions of foods’ beauty and edibility”

– Michaela W.T. Oldfield, JD, PhD, Director, Greater Cincinnati Regional Food Policy Council
