Michelle Obama to write book on gardening, healthy eating
Through a just-announced deal with Random House’s Crown Publishing Group, Mrs. Obama will write a book about her South Lawn garden and her campaign to encourage Americans to eat more fresh, locally-grown food.

According to Crown, the first lady is not taking an advance for the book — due out April 2012 — and will donate all earnings to charity.

The right-wing response: "What about those ribs?"

7. And she wants WHITE people to dig in the DIRT
It's part of her evil "reparations" plan to turn whites into sharecroppers for their evil black plantation masters.

I read it in World Nut Daily.

8. What a great idea - I'm so happy she's doing this.

Perhaps we can bring back the community/ victory garden,which is better for nutrition and the environment. Gardening also brings about such a relaxing joy for me - it has the added benefit of being a stress reducer too!

13. The tea baggers and neocons will go nuts. A democrat is doing something
that puts them in a good light so they must be attacked.
