American Wasteland, Jonathan Bloom (Da Capo Lifelong Books, 2010)
American Wasteland examines where and why we waste nearly half of our food, while offering suggestions on what we can do better. In the book, Bloom discusses why food waste really does matter and chronicle why it occurs from the farm to fork.
American Wasteland is a journey through our food chain that raises questions about how our approach to eating has changed so much and what it means. The book introduces myriad characters and tells the story of American food waste through their lives.
A word of warning: It’s a book that forces you to reconsider your approach to food. Because once you’re looking for food waste, it’s hard to miss.
