Last week’s news that the Obama White House broke ground for an organic garden was great news for all of us. A campaign begn by Alice Waters years ago for schools to grow their own has flourished and arrived at the people’s house. Now, we need to use this initiative to help schools in our own communities to do the same. Tracey and I are big believers in the idea that kids will eat healthy foods, and love them, when they are involved in the process. Growing tomatoes, greens, or peas will help kids not only see where food comes from and get in touch with the earth, but make them more likely to devour the proceeds in the process. If you have some time and a green thumb, contact your local schools and see if you can help them begin their own victory garden.
