First Lady Michelle Obama has inked a deal with Crown Publishing Group to write a book about the garden she started at the White House and her efforts to promote healthy habits. Mrs. Obama is receiving no advance and will be donating the proceeds to charity (the specific charity has yet to be decided).
The Christian Science Monitor reports the untitled book will be published in April 2012 and will include photos of the White House garden, as well as other gardens from around the United States. The book is also expected to include an explanation as to what inspired her to plant the first edible garden on the White House's lawn since Eleanor Roosevelt's "victory garden."
An added bonus: Some of the Obama family's favorite healthy recipes will be included. Now you can eat like an Obama!
Mrs. Obama has been an advocate of healthy eating and exercise; she launched her "Let's Move!" initiative in February 2010 which aimed to beat child obesity and improve the quality of food in US schools.
Do voters really fall for this garbage?
She can shove a turnip.................
OFHS...she’s over exposed already...and besides, wth does SHE know about gardening?
Do voters really fall for this garbage?
It’s sickening, isn’t it.
First, have someone else (preferably illegal undocumented workers) clear a plot of land and mix compost into the soil to make it nutritious for growing plants. NO s’mores refuse!!
Second, go to Lowe’s and buy nearly full grown produce. Have aforementioned illegal undocumented workers plant said produce in said prepared plot.
Third, wait about a week, then call a press conference, put on some J. Crew outfit that will not get a lick of dirt on it, take some garden shears and VIOLA! YOU TOO ARE A GENUWINE GARDNER!!
Give yourself a big ol’ pat on the back!!!
/sarc
answering my own question....she only knows to HIRE someone else to garden....and to hire someone else to write the book. What an elitist boob.
The only Moochelle knows about gardening is to tell the slaves what to do.
That bitch knows as much about gardening as my hang nail.
this is a joke right?
She has no clue about gardening at all and she certainly does not eat what she tells us lot to eat.
I'll bet you 2 bundles of arugula that damnnear every worker in that garden is white, so Missy can watch them toil in the soil from the White House upper veranda whilst sipping her Dom Pérignon.
I was watching the movie Precious on Netflix. Couldn’t get through it because it was so depressing.
Mama demands to know where her collard greens are with her pigs feet. Wonder if Michelle likes pigs feet?
‘Pigs feet are not as fattening as you might think. It’s important to note that this meat provides more protein and less fat than country-style pork spare ribs. If you don’t believe me, here is the data to support. About 3 ounces of pork spare ribs contains 20g of protein and 18g of fat compared to pigs feet 21g of protein and 17g of fat.’

And the charity she decides on will no doubt reflect “social justice”. No money for Whitey.
