"The White House would not say whether the Obamas or the children who had helped tend the garden would be tested for lead exposure."

They won't be tested.
It will be reported that the greens eaten were actually store bought after all!

Come to think of it, the Obamas messed up kids. Now they won't want to eat their vegetables. They will have to go through therapy to overcome their fear of greens.

“We’re going to have a beehive,” Michelle Obama announced Friday to “ooohs” and “ahhhs” from Washington-area school children wielding shovels and rakes and hoes to help with the garden groundbreaking. “I’m glad you’re excited, but because my kids aren’t very excited about the beehive. But we’re going to try to make our own honey.”

In leggings and flat black boots, Mrs. Obama turned soil with a shovel and pitchfork, saying plants will go in the ground – mint, lettuces, berries and perennial herbs – in the next several weeks, with the harvest to be used in both the White House kitchen and a nearby soup kitchen.

As fifth grade students picked 73 pounds of lettuce and 12 pounds of peas, assistant White House Chef Sam Kass noted that the garden had flourished quickly due to the downpours, the Washington Post reported.

Besides the lettuce and peas, the 1,100-suare foot, L-shaped garden has also produced beans, kale, chard, collard greens and herbs, Kass told the paper.

The White House kitchen has been turning the garden’s beans into dinner fare every other day and the fresh herbs are used nightly.

Kass also noted that no chemicals were used on the vegetables, and Bo, the family dog, didn’t eat any of the plants.
