Milk and eggs - Nature's food
Fight Food Waste in the home chart no. 2: a woman puts milk in a refrigerator, a cartoon thermometer fans a cartoon milk jug, cartoon milk and egg figures sit under Milk-egg dishes rules, and a smiling baby eats from a high chair. The technique is faint: cartoon characters and a baby are used to make storage rules friendly.
