OBAMA, EAT THE VIEW ! (animation) Turn The Lawn In To A Victory Garden

I just had to share this fun little clip with you from http://www.eattheview.org & Kitchen Gardeners International http://www.youtube.com/user/kitchenga...

This animated video is part of the "Eat the View" campaign to turn part of the White House's 18 acre lawn back into an edible landscape. The video tells the story of the "America's Garden" from 1800 when President John Adams planted the first "first vegetables" to feed his own family to the present day.

It ends by peeking optimistically into the future when the next President, seeing how our world is changing, announces plans to replant America's garden, inspiring countless citizens to grow some of their own delicious, healthy, and environmentally responsible food.

The "Eat the View" campaign is powered by real people like you. If you haven't yet signed our petition, please do so here:

The video was produced by the nonprofit group Kitchen Gardeners International (http://www.KitchenGardeners.org) which is leading the "Eat the View" campaign. The animation is the creative genius of Eliot Morrison of http://www.yiggs.com.

that was a very very nice video. Being a former farmer, I truly enjoy living of the land as the great creator intended. Thank you for posting.

Now is not the right time for an idea like this. Obama is under tremendous pressure to deliver the "Change" he has basically promised America. He shouldnt jeopardise his reputation and ability to determine priorities by plainting a garden. Many people are saying that Obama has made thigs worse since he has taken office; planting this garden will be an embarassing blow to his administration. Nice idea....not gonna happen.....not the right time....maybe in a few years.

Obama is a Monsanto agent. I don't think I'd be eating anything he grows.

the president still has to pay for his own groceries, that has not changed...(video says 'initially...')

If he does plant a garden I sure it will be with Monsanto GMO seeds. Mr. Vilsak will see to that.
