Healthy Eatin'

So here's a little something I found online.

Apparently, First Lady Michelle Obama has decided to grow a new whitehouse organic "kitchen garden" in an attempt to set an example for a "fast-food-nation"

"We're just hoping that a lot of families look at us and say this is
something that they can do and talk to their own kids about and think a little bit critically about the food choices that they make" -Marian Robinson (Obama's mother-in-law)

It's the first working garden at the Whitehouse since Eleanor Roosevelt's WWII "Victory Garden". This may not be earthshaking, but I feel that it's a nice way for the first lady to set an example, considering how much the media loves her / how visible she si right now to the public. Any thoughts / comments?
