Would you taste a white berry? Would you eat a carrot with a weird shape? People often throw out ugly fruits and veggies.
We can eat these funny foods. They still taste great.
Pray: Thank God for the food you enjoy. Leftover food is tasty. Food that looks weird can be yummy.

People throw away over 35 million tons of food each year in the United States. Restaurants and stores often get rid of food due to its shape or color. But a restaurant in California puts peppers with odd shapes on its pizzas. It also uses ugly mushrooms. Strained milk leaves behind a liquid called whey. It is often tossed out. Tyler Malek’s ice cream stores use whey to make lemon curd flavor.
“For everything created by God is good. And nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.” (1 Timothy 4:4)
