Eat the View! A White House Garden Petition

This is so fantastic. Sign this petition to encourage President Obama (yay!) to turn part of the White House lawn into an organic vegetable garden for the White House kitchen and DC food pantries. It would not be the first time there was a garden on the premises. Speaking of olden days conservationism, check out this WWII era movie made by the UK Ministry of Education for the Ministry of Food about how to cook cabbage (spoiler: with little water and with the lid on, otherwise it will be "soggy and nasty"). Modern update: boys can cook cabbage too. And another thing about cabbage: its a very efficient water consumer, especially compared to lettuce which is the most water-intensive crop grown, and holds many more nutrients and antioxidants to boot. Just one of the things im learning from The Ethical Gourmet.
