The Obamas to eat what they grow

The Obama family plan to eat what they grow in the White House in the future

US First Lady Michelle Obama is set to break the ground for an organic garden on a patch of the south lawn to grow produce for the White House kitchen.

Local primary school pupils will help her with the planting and harvesting of the vegetables, herbs and salad crops.

Promoting healthy eating for American families has become a part of the first lady's agenda.

She has promised her whole family will be getting involved, and even President Barack Obama will help with weeding. Mrs Obama hopes that inspiring children will help spread the healthy eating message to others.

"My hope is that through children, they will begin to educate their families and that will, in turn, begin to educate our communities," she said in an interview in her East Wing office.

Ummmm...sorry. This is not allowed under the auspices of new Houe Resolution HR875, the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009.

If they can get around the law...so can I.

Is she nuts?!

I think most Americans are already 'educated' in how to grow a garden. Unless, you were living the high life of a community organizer in Chicago and had your 'personal chef' like the Obama's did.

Yes, she is nuts, arrogant and just needs to get a life of her own and leave the rest of us alone!

Great role model. Soon all Obama voters can aspire to a life as subsistence farmers.
