Obacklash

As a follow up to my posting on Michelle Obama's organic garden I thought I would post this article from Slate on the current backlash of the garden. I think it's fantastic! The big agro's are getting so frustrated with the First Lady's effusiveness over local and organic. Getting in touch with your anger is the first step guys...

My favorite quote in the whole article, " The main problem, he says, is that local food is seasonal. For example, avocadoes grow in California during the summer months. Same with grapes. "What happens if you want some grapes during the month of December?" says Equihua. "What are you going to do? Not eat grapes?"

Hmmm. Tough one. Find this charming article here.
