   Caring for the Earth (12) Da Capo Press (31) No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Very heavy on statistics and a bit dry at times, but fascinating look at food waste in the United States. It definitely affected how I look at my small part (I noticed trying to use up restaurant leftovers and have been thinking about using my bread loaf ends to make bread crumbs). However the real waste is on a macro level, not micro, and that is eye-opening. Change needs to happen on a global scale and Bloom does a great job painting the whole picture.

What Tom Vanderbilt did for traffic and Brian Wansink did for mindless eating, Jonathan Bloom does for food waste. The topic couldn't be timelier: As more people are going hungry while simultaneously more people are morbidly obese,American Wasteland sheds light on the history, culture, and mindset of waste while exploring the parallel eco-friendly and sustainable-food movements. As the era of unprecedented prosperity comes to an end, it's time to reexamine our culture of excess. Working at both a local grocery store and a major fast food chain and volunteering with a food recovery group, Bloom also interviews experts--from Brian Wansink to Alice Waters to Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen--and digs up not only why and how we waste, but, more importantly, what we can do to change our ways.
