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.

All they need to do is knock out a few windows and get a mule.
Thank you so much!
Wonder if the 0bama’s will be registering their garden plot with the ‘Food Safety Administration’?
Do the Obamas have a backyard garden in Chicago? That ranch was President Bush’s home.
1100 square feet and they plan to grow 55 varieties of produce. What a joke.
Just begging for a Photoshopping.
ROTFL.
Now the news releases the WH sends out about the garden there ought to be good for some laughs.
After a week of 70 degree weather (last week) I have to now go out and cover everything. We have a freeze warning tonight.
I’ll check this thread later, and be laughing all night.
The number one black person is still living in government housing and now sharecropping.
Are they going to breed giraffes and hyenas for meat?
When will there be chickens be running around on he WH grounds.
Is that the Khmer Rouge Agricultural Reeducation School?
Will the homeless be coming to take pictures with their 2.0 megapixel cell phone cameras?
He actually owns a ranch and works on it when the cameras are off too.
He didn't bring his horses and cows to the White House for a photo op!
Squash, etc. etc.
The 0bomos won’t be working that garden except for a few publicity shots with the kids raking and hoeing for a few minutes. The illegal aliens with take care of it. The White House will hire a few more
What a novel idea!
Thanks but I don’t really need the advice of children who have been propagandized by Socialists to provide me with advice on what to eat and how to garden. There are better sources of information if I feel the need for further enlightenment on those subjects. Nor do I need well indoctrinated children lecturing me on global warming and other such nonsense. They are using their wretched children, pure and simple. That woman has no clue how difficult it is to garden in DC’s clay-laden dirt. I had to basically replace all of the top soil in my yard to a depth of 18 inches to be able to do what I wanted to do with it. I am waiting to see Michelle and the girls removing the lousy, sticky soil that is there, lugging hug bags of good topsoil and organic matter to the site and then spending a week or so spreading it around and working it. Not gonna happen.
