Why?
Back in the early 90’s there was a movement in this area to get rid of sludge and it was touted as the ‘best thing since sliced bread,’ in the areas of fertilizer. Now, it IS great for growing crops, but the problem would be that the industrial sludge leaves heavy metals in the soil that don’t go away, or at least don’t go away in 20 years.
Nothing grown on the White House lawn is edible, unless you are okay with lead, arsenic, cadmium, etc. Now the roses love this stuff as does the greenery - but those aren’t edible.
So, any photo op shown with kids eating veggies from the White House lawn are fake. Remember when that famous chef came to cook at the White House - Chef Vitalie? (Not sure of the name), all the veggies he used were trucked in because of the contamination of the lawn. So the photo op had him using “Vegetables like those grown at the White House.”
What a shock to find out this administration is fake huh?
