Ever noticed how fruits and vegetables at your local supermarket seem to be almost identical twins in size and shape?
 
There's a growing movement towards embracing 'ugly' fruits and vegetables, with stores specializing in selling these less-than-perfect items at a discount price to combat food waste.
 
This practice contributes to food waste upstream, as farmers may leave behind perfectly edible produce that doesn't meet these visual standards.
 
Here is why supermarkets are only accepting produce with similar size and shape:
 
Consumer Appeal: Uniform produce not only looks more appealing on shelves but also simplifies the shopping experience.
 
Packaging Efficiency: Similar sizes mean easier packaging and stacking.
 
Surely there is beauty in diversity, and the nutrition does not change due to size and shape.

Did you know that choking often can quickly become life-threatening?

Toddlers are naturally curious and prone to putting small objects in their mouths, which can lead to choking.

Here's a quick guide on choking:

1️⃣ 𝐀𝐬𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩: Call for help immediately. If you're alone, perform first aid for about two minutes before dialing your local emergency number.
2️⃣ 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐬: Position the child over your forearm, face down. Support their head and give up to 5 firm back blows between their shoulder blades with the heel of your hand.
3️⃣ 𝐀𝐛𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐬 (Heimlich maneuver): If the back blows don't work, turn the child face up, while still supporting them along your forearm. Locate the navel, then place 2 fingers a little above the navel and perform up to 5 quick, upward thrusts.
4️⃣ 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐭: Continue alternating 5 back blows and 5 abdominal thrusts until the blockage is dislodged, the child can cough forcefully or breathe, or the child becomes unconscious.

Encourage children to sit while eating and to chew thoroughly.

Note: This information is a general guide. Everyone should consider getting certified in first aid and CPR.
