First Lady Michelle Obama at Miriam’s Kitchen

From the Reagan administration’s attempt to declare ketchup as a vegetable,  H.W. Bush’s ban on broccoli (from the White House), and Clinton’s love of fast food our Presidents have not always had much of a track record in setting a good standard of healthy eating.

Good news though, today’s New York Times again reported on Michelle Obama’s commitment to healthy and fresh food for everyone.  The Obamas already moved their local food-loving personal chef to Washington, but do they know that the new White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, was a member of the Chicago Tuv Ha’aretz?

Madame First Lady, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a terrific way to get fresh local produce directly from the farm onto your table.  And although the Tuv Ha’aretz in Washington DC has not historically done home delivery, I wonder if they might be willing to make an exception for the White House?  Enrollment is now open.

    The NYT article was so heartening, particularly as a model to parents who confuse easy food with good food – although one can only wonder what the juicebox industrial complex will have to say about the Obamas’ culinary choices.
