President Obama said on Thursday of last week that he and the First Lady Michelle, are looking into setting up a farmers market just outside the White House, which might sell food from the White House garden or from local farmers. 

The president said it could give the city of Washington, D.C., “more access to good, fresh food, but it also is this enormous potential revenue-maker for local farmers in the area.”

The President also went on stating that…

“When it comes to food, one of the things that we are doing is working with school districts.  And the child nutrition legislation is going to be coming up.  We provide an awful lot of school lunches out there and—and reimburse local school districts for school-lunch programs.  Let’s figure out how can we get some fresh fruits and vegetables in the mix.  Because sometimes you go into schools and—you know what the menu is, you know?  It’s French fries, Tater Tots, hot dogs, pizza and—now, that’s what kids—let’s face it, that’s what kids want to eat, anyway (Laughter.)  So it’s not just the schools’ fault.”

I definitely agree 100 percent with the President and the First Lady.

I think we should all try and Make It Happen!!!
