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.

Maybe that'll keep him off the streets and outta trouble.
Ping to the Gardeners.
I am going to be a good girl and keep my comments to myself.
Exactly. Will he oppose the Monsanto bill that would stop everyone else from making the best use of their garden?
it’s like Bizarro world with these people
Well, they’ll have plenty of fertilizer...
Goats would not be a new thing at the White House...
They have been used as lawn mowers in the past..
:)
exactly what I thought...would H.R. 875: Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 then apply to the white house? If they use the food to feed anyone, one would think their Food Czar would have to check it out.
“I can’t wait to see the Obamas in overalls and strawhats, hoe in hand.”
Wait now, Michelle is her own woman. I don’t think she will take kindly to being manhandled!
Let’s all plant vegetables and call them Obama Economy Gardens.
No white kids or asian or mexicans?
they both can ESAD.
Preparing us to become a nation of share-croppers.
I saw a homeless person panhandling today. I guess he’s a victim of Obama’s economy.
Thanks Gabz.

Did you think that about Bush’s photo op’s on the ranch?
Oh, don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll screw this up, too.
More than likely, this will be the “smoothest garden planting ever,” until the garden winds up turned over to the Secret Service because Michelle and Obama will be too busy making photo op goo goo eyes at each other.
At which point, the little “organic garden” will quietly disappear from the news.
Kind of like the “smoothest transition ever.”
OMG, the White House Lawn? OMG surely you jest?!
LOL!
