The New York Times is running an article about the rising costs of organic food. I have noticed it myself while shopping the isles of my local organic grocery store. At the same time they also have an article about kitchen gardens which remembers a time when Americans grew 40% of their own vegetables in the yard. Back then the example was set by the President. For example, Woodrow Wilson had sheep grazing on the lawn of the White House and Eleanor Roosevelt grew carrots and peas on that lawn. John Adams planted a vegetable garden there too to feed his family. So maybe it is time to offset your grocery store bill and carbon emissions by tearing up your lawn and planting food. Not only will your pocket book thank you, but you will be wowed by how good and fresh your fruits and vegetables taste. If you have a vision of what the next president should plant at the White House you can write about it here.
