For a garden that was just recently planted, it sure has grown alot in short period of time! What does the WH Gardner use? I know Pres Obama throws out alot of fertilizer on a daily basis - but this garden has really taken off
During her speech Ms Obama said something that is worth taking note of. She said how Americans do not eat right. Could that be a sign where the Obama administration decided for our own good, that the Federal governemnt takes over the distribution of milk, ice cream, soda, and mandate 2 hours of exercise daily?
Michelle Obama and students harvest White House kitchen garden.

And for the first time in the history of our nation, a nation that is one of the
wealthiest on the planet, medical experts have warned that our younger
generation may be on track to have a shorter life span than their parents as a direct result of the obesity epidemic. Again, that is just unacceptable.
So how did we get here? How did we get in this position where we have become
such an unhealthy nation, and our children are at risk? And the fact is there
are a lot of factors, but some of the more simple ones are that too many kids
are consuming high-calorie food with low nutritional value, and they're not
getting enough exercise. It's plain and simple: They're not eating right and
they're not moving their bodies at all.
The way we eat has changed substantially since I was a little girl, and as I
joke, I don't think that was that long ago. Laugh. (Laughter.) Yeah. They still think I'm old. But I'm not.
