Bumper Crop at the Organic White House


The White House garden has gone organic. That’s enough to get Big Agribusiness -- also known as the Pesticide or Genetically Modified food lobby -- worried.


The chemical industry is so worried that they wrote a letter to Mrs. Barack Obama. After all, what if the Obamas realized that organic food is healthier and better tasting than pesticide poisoned Frankenfoods (genetically modified)? Worse yet, what if the White House’s organic garden inspired Americans to start their own organic gardens?

The pesticide lobby’s letter prompted a petition in response to “tell the pesticide peddlers: We support Michelle Obama’s organic garden!” The petition has already exceeded its target of 100,000 signatures. If the Obamas can do it, how about our we start our own experimental organic gardens in our temples, mosques, churches, and even our own backyards? Food not lawns! We can save our frogs, bees, and planet. (Anilnetto.com)
