The new administration has broken ground for a vegetable garden of local, organic foods on the White House lawn. This idea, advocated by First Lady Michelle, should be credited to Slow Food USA’s president Josh Viertel and organic chef Alice Waters who have been pushing for our government to take notice and make changes how America’s food is produced and consumed. High time we have a government who is thinking about nutrition. A true seed of change indeed.
NY Times published a map of what will be planted. No beets for Barack but plenty of the fixings for Mexican food. Sounds like my kind of people.
There are some accompanying articles on organic food and its movement in the Times. And I must add that the vegetable garden article was the most viewed for three days in a row.
Great work. keep up the good stuff
