Organic Gardening at the White House

I am so excited that Michelle Obama has decided to have White House vegetable garden. I am hopeful that this will translate into a broader discussion of food policy in the US, and at the very least, convince more people to think about where their food is coming from.

Here's the link to the NY Times article about the garden:

And on the Diane Rehm radio show this morning:

"First Lady Michelle Obama's vegetable garden at the White House and a new study on the health risks of eating beef and pork daily have inspired many to rethink what they're eating and whether it's healthy. A look at new efforts to put healthier food on our plates."
