Durham resident Jonathan Bloom will discuss and sign copies of his new book, American Wasteland: How America Throws Away Nearly Half of Its Food (and What We Can Do About It). This eye-opening account of our culture of excess and waste examines where and why we waste food at all levels of the food chain and offers potential remedies. Bloom has written for the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Boston Globe.
The price of admission? A can of food—and the person who contributes the most will receive a free copy of the book. All donations will be given to a local food distribution organization.
