Garden of Eat-in

It's November 5th and we now know who will be our next president. After all of the political ad campaigns we have all had to endure, the bashing and slandering of the other guy and the wondering when and if it would all just end already, it has. Well, the curiousity at least. Now its time to move on and make those changes that we have all been promised. And, although it would be so much easier to just sit back and let our new commander in chief do it all for us, its up to us to begin to make those changes.

As a foodie who appreciates all things local, I have vowed to make sure that other foodies do too. That is why I want to tell you about the "Eat the View". "A campaign to plant healthy, edible landscapes in high-impact, high visibility places, whether it's the "First Lawn" or the lawn in front of your child's school."

Please visit the website at www.eattheview.org and sign the petition to plant a garden on the unused 18 acres of land at the White House to represent to America that we can be socially responsible and productive with our land, returning the knowledge of gardening to our people and benefiting those farmers who already need our help.
