    The Powerful Symbolism of a White House Vegetable Garden

    Decatur Metro | March 20, 2009

    Michael Pollan and a lot of other local foodies will be displaying big smiles at the GA Organics Conference in Decatur this weekend.

    The Obama’s have announced plans to plant an organic vegetable garden on the White House lawn.

    I can just feel the farm lobby and food manufacturers cringe when Michelle says things like this…

    “You can begin in your own cupboard,” she said, “by eliminating processed food, trying to cook a meal a little more often, trying to incorporate more fruits and vegetables.”

    How simple.

    And how revolutionary.
