American Wasteland--#35 finished

This is a book that started as a blog about wasting food.  Lots of good points to be made about this topic--finding ways to get food to the hungry, harvesting excess food, over serving, keeping food out of trash dumps, etc.  That being said this is a tough read, good info but stuffed around too much examples & preaching.  Book has made me think though & I am trying to get back on the composting better as well as trying to use up the food in the refrigerator rather than just throwing out.  Not sure that much has been done on a national level which is what the author wanted when writing the book--was written about 10 years ago.  Or maybe things have been happening & I just haven't been paying attention.  Might try to look into this a little.  Good topic but again was a tough read--took me a long time to get this book finished.

I have already posted it on PBS & hope to get it mailed soon.  There are 24 WL for it so should be getting shipped off in the next few days or week.
