American Wasteland chronicles how we waste food from farm to fork and examines the impact of our squandering. With an upbeat tone, the book offers suggestions on how we -- as a nation and as individuals -- can trim our waste. 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. - Publisher.
