Lettuce Beet Hunger!

It all started in a popular clothing store with a summer tee that said, “breakfast, lunch, dinner” with images of a doughnut, a slice of pizza, and a taco. My first instinct was, “this is neither cute, nor funny”. I just didn’t get the humor in encouraging 3 meals of processed food. 

I like foodie tees and thought of all the puns that could be made from food. With all the fad diets and food shaming, I wanted people to feel “lighter” when they wore them. I worked with a few graphic designers for the images and the puns just kept coming. I came up with Lettuce Beet Hunger as the shop name.

Lettuce Beet Hunger is meant to “take a bite” out of food insecurity. A portion of each purchase supports those with food insecurity by providing food and nutrition education in the Cincinnati area.

How you make a difference: When you wear, give or share a food pun shirt or swag, you support our mission and spread awareness of food insecurity in our community. Some tees and cards are available at the Civic Garden Center Gift shop, Kennedy Heights Arts Center gift shop and online. Look for Sound Bites Nutrition at various farmers markets and festivals like Earth Day, too.

Food pun tees and swag make great gifts for chefs, dietitians, nutritionists or frankly, anyone that enjoys food and has a good sense of humor. I wear one daily and always get a chuckle when someone reads them.
