White House Goes Organic

June 1st, 2009 · 1 Comment

Mixed-vegetables-w200-h200 President Obama’s wife, Michelle, has started an organic garden in the . The garden will provide for the first family and their guests.

The Obamas are involving school children in the cultivation project which they hope will have a positive educational effect on the children.

This is the first organic vegetable garden at the White House in over 50 years. The last one was established by Eleanor Roosevelt during the Second World war.

However, this approach by Michelle Obama has angered the “agri-business” lobby, who want her to use chemicals on her crops. They have written to the First Lady saying she should be using ‘crops protection products’.

I think not! Go for it Michelle!
