Clever Tees Make Food Fashionable

Never mind wearing your heart on your sleeve. Make 2008 about proudly displaying your epicurean ideals.

The Diet Detective’s latest crop of deliciously wry T-shirts highlights nutritional sensibility (a donut-emblazoned covering warns, “think before you eat”) and gourmet pride (a plucky tomato declares itself “locally grown”) without becoming overly preachy.

With more than two dozen pun-ny styles to choose from—the carrot-backed “bite me” and onion-based “cry baby” designs are personal favorites—the demonstrative shirts can easily be appreciated by hardcore chowhounds and hipster fashionistas alike. Plus, each FoodTee purchase benefits a trio of food-centric children’s groups.
