Comments on: The Powerful Symbolism of a White House Vegetable Garden http://www.decaturmetro.com/2009/03/20/the-powerful-symbolism-of-a-white-house-vegetable-garden/ Decatur Georgia News, Events, Atlanta News Mon, 15 Sep 2014 01:05:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.0 By: Decatur Metro http://www.decaturmetro.com/2009/03/20/the-powerful-symbolism-of-a-white-house-vegetable-garden/#comment-7434 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 13:26:43 +0000 http://www.decaturmetro.com/?p=20705#comment-7434 Many people just don’t have the time, true. Like those that must work two or three jobs to make ends meet.

That said…the average American watches six hours of TV a day, so I’m sure there are a few people out there with the time that will be inspired to start a garden of their own.

And if taxes are a concern, a vegetable garden can help you out there too. A one time sales tax on seeds is a fraction of the sales tax on weekly trips to the supermarket!

While tending to my two children.

What a joke.

I know at least one single mom of two that finds time to garden, even though she lives in a tiny apartment in Cleveland. I guess she isn’t trolling the internet to vent on perfectly benign blog posts. If it isn’t important to you you won’t make time for it, but that’s your business.

I think it is fabulous for the First Family to be setting an example for all types of households across this country. So no, obviously she won’t be tending to the garden on a daily basis, but she will bringing our attention and focus to important issues facing our country. So maybe cut her a break.
