Growing up in the late fifties/early sixties, my parents were always reminding my siblings and I not to waste food as what we wouldn't eat might be a meal for others on the planet. They also said, "don't let your eyes be bigger than your stomach".
Forsaken Food: The Impact and Opportunity of Food Waste
Tuesday, September 30, 5:30pm, Woodburn Hall 120
Jonathan Bloom is the author of American Wasteland -- a 2010
award-winning book chronicling how Americans end up throwing away almost
50% of their food. From farm to fork, waste is everywhere--how does
waste operate behind the scenes in our own kitchens, and what impacts
does this have on our world? Bloom's blog, www.wastedfood.com,
explores current topics in food waste and recovery politics and his
waste-related articles have been published in the New York Times,
Washington Post, and Newsweek, among others. More on the event here.
