This poster addresses both issues, the use of shredded cabbage, a home grown vegetable, and the promotion of healthy eating. The central image is a stylised graphic of a pair of hands chopping cabbage on a wooden chopping board. The title text is above the image in green with the rest of the text in orange and black below.
