First Farmers
How great is this? In an effort to promote healthy eating, President Obama and his family will be planting a vegetable garden at the White House.No doubt it's a PR stunt. But if that's what it takes to get Americans out of the fast-food line, I'm all for it.
Yesterday ABC News reported that the new White House vegetable garden will be planted on the South grounds, in view of the main house. The White House staff will handle the planting and sowing. Let's hope every once in awhile, the first family pulls on a pair of grubby jeans and gets dirt under their fingernails.
In the April issue of "O" magazine, Mrs. Obama told Oprah Winfrey, "We want to use it as a point of education, to talk about health and how delicious it is to eat fresh food, and how you can take that food and make it part of a healthy diet."
