Pyle, native Kansan and editorialist for the Salt Lake Tribune, delivers a powerful, learned and lively attack on the status quo and shows us how unless we take a close look at our larder — right now — we risk turning much of rural America into a permanent environmental and economic wasteland. We are feeding ourselves and the rest of the world too much trash, he says, at environmental, ecological, and even security costs that are too high to pay.

George B. Pyle was born in Kansas City, Mo. He has been a newspaper reporter and editor, radio talk show host and television commentator in Kansas. He was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Writing in 1998. Now an editorial writer for The Salt Lake Tribune, he lives in Salt Lake City with his wife and two sons.
