The President & First Lady are healthy eaters.

It's now official: the First Family will have their own vegetable garden at the White House. Not a garden planted and maintained by a landscaper or other employee; but planted and maintained by the Obama family themselves!

This is big, people. It could very likely have an impact upon the way food is viewed in America. If the health benefits aren't enough reason to grow veggies at home, the shaky economy certainly is. President and Mrs. Obama are avid foodies and clearly are the most nutrition-conscious First Family we've had a in some time.

Let's hope this garden and the healthy eating it will enable will be an inspiration to would-be gardeners everywhere!
