Last night, 60 Minutes aired a generally nifty segment on Alice Waters. Sadly, the piece occasionally veered into the strange thought that eating wholesome and organic food is somehow an elitist practice. Chef Waters did her best to explain why it's actually the opposite- that Eating Good Food is as down to earth as can be. Literally.
That's why we should all support the effort to have a Presidential victory garden at the White House. Not too long ago, it was considered both patriotic and practical to grow a garden. The President and First Lady have a wonderful opportunity to show Americans that choosing to eat wholesome, chemical free food is a choice we all should make.
To learn more about why this is necessary, and how it could be done, check out Michael Pollan's brilliant NY Times article.
