This morning I received an email informing me that the pesticide lobby is working the Obamas to add pesticides to the White House organic vegetable garden. They may “shudder” at the thought of growing vegetables without pesticides, but I bet there are a few of us out there who shudder at the though of adding pesticides. Sure, the chemical companies pay a big role in feeding the world, but is it really necessary? I don’t think so. I know a small residential garden can be bountiful without pesticides, so why should the Obama’s residential garden have to be any different?
If you would like to read the letter from Mid America CropLife Association to the White House, go here. If you would like to sign the petition to keep the pesticides out of Michele Obama’s veggies, go here.
