After much speculation, the First Family has confirmed that they will bring an organic veggie garden on the White House grounds. First Lady Michelle Obama has committed to the idea of healthy eating, especially when it comes to her kids, and has expressed her views in a number of interviews. "My hope," the first lady said in an interview for the New York Times, "is that through children, they will begin to educate their families and that will, in turn, begin to educate our communities."
On Friday, the First Lady was joined by children from the Bancroft Elementary School who helped her break the soil for the reported 1100 square foot plot that has been ear marked for the project. The students will also be working to cultivate the garden, and the First Family members, including the President, are expected to help weed and tend the garden, "whether they like it or not," said the First Lady.
