boooyah!

They're going to do it! Vegetable gardens are coming back to the whitehouse. And from the sounds of it, for all the right reasons.

Michelle Obama: We want to use it as a point of education, to talk about health and how delicious it is to eat fresh food, and how you can take that food and make it part of a healthy diet. You know, the tomato that's from your garden tastes very different from one that isn't. And peas - what is it like to eat peas in season? So we want the White House to be a place of education and awareness. And hopefully kids will be interested because there are kids living here

The unanswered question is, will it be organic? But given the first family's noted predilection for eating organic wherever possible, serving organic wine at official dinners...I think its pretty much a given.
