Michelle Obama’s Book: ‘American Groan Grown’
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, October 24, 2011, 12:18 PM
Michelle has a new book on gardening.
(Politica Moda)
Michelle Obama titled her upcoming book “American Groan Grown” to promote vegetable gardening during a down economy.
…For those who can no longer afford fresh produce at the grocery store.
The AP reported:
The publisher of a book Michelle Obama is writing about her White House produce garden says it will be called “American Grown.”
Crown Publishers announced Monday that the complete title of the first lady’s first book is “American Grown: How the White House Kitchen Garden Inspires Families, Schools and Communities.” It is scheduled to be published in April.
The book will explore how improving access to healthy, affordable food can influence eating habits for the better and improve public health. The first lady has become an advocate for healthier eating and exercise, and she is leading a nationwide campaign to reduce childhood obesity in the U.S.
You’ve gotta love it… This comes from the same White House that decided to punish farmers with a stream of oppressive regulations.

I hope her book will have a chapter on organic gardening in soil that is contaminated with lead and laden with sewage sludge.

Grow your own vegetables, but don’t wash it down with milk from your own farm, that’s illegal.

Didn’t this same group help pass a law fining people who grow their own gardens?
LEAVE US THE FREAK ALONE!!!!!! JUST GO AWAY YOU UTOPIA HYPOCRITS!!!!
AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DINORightMarie commented:
Rather amusing. Didn’t her Food Act (SB 510) make it illegal to have bake sales and home gardens?
She is promoting law breaking………? Heh. Who would have thought it!?
averagemelon commented:
This woman is clueless.
I can assure you, gardening is hard, dirty, sweaty work and a good crop is a gift from God alone. You will get thinner just by the labor involved and the lack of success despite your finest efforts.
She needs a real job or a real education before she opens her mouth to give advice.
Spartan commented:
And you just know she’s asking someone if they can fry that damn thing, too!!!!!

Growing gardens are nothing new. And Americans have been well aware of the Obesity problems. Stop shoving your mandated down our throats. We can stop eating that.

Paula Deen “this lady can eat”
Patty commented:
Hear she love those chicken wings.
Patty commented:
When celebrity chef Paula Deen met with Michelle Obama, she was surprised at just how much food the first lady could put away.
Mrs. Obama has become a driving force in preaching healthy eating for others, but according to the newspaper, Deen recalls, she packed away anything but healthy food — both on the air and during the commercials. “She probably ate more than any other guest I’ve ever had on the show!” said Deen, sometimes called the “Queen of Butter” for her decidedly non-dietetic fare.
According to the Food Network star, after complimenting Michelle on her slim figure, she showed her how to fry shrimp for a TV show in September 2008, just ahead the presidential election, reports The Daily Mail.
On the Obama family, Paula remarked, “You know what their favorite foods are? It’s hot wings, you know, those kinds of foods that are not necessarily top-of-the-list healthy foods, so she’s no different than the rest of us.”
The comments came in an interview that Deen, known for her love of traditionally fattening down-home cooking, gave to promote her latest book Paula Deen’s Southern Cooking Bible.

SORRY MO, YOU CAN GROW CHICKEN WINGS. CHICKENS HAVE COME HOME TO ROOST.

“American Grown” – Not to be confused with her husband.
Greg commented:
Any body guess how much her veg garden costs to operate. I can visualize an ag science team to evaluate the soil and growing season recommending a planting strategy that promote food health and political timing. A tools in hand team that plows, plants, cultivates, organic fertilizers weeds, prunes and picks. A pests control team that eliminates bugs rabbits and squirrels. An advertising team that writes copy and takes pictures.. A distribution team that provides instant delivery with cooking instruction to the needy. My guess is 2-3 million dollars a year, union labor rates to produce what one truck farmer does in Alabama for personal use
Are there any pictures providing a over all view of the garden and est of how many people work there
KC commented:
“American Grown: How the White House Kitchen Garden Inspires Families, Schools and Communities.”
Excuse me, can someone name a school or community that her garden inspired?
This is so stupid I can’t believe a word of it. Gardens are hard work, and that
potatoe sure looks like a radioactive fertilizer was used.
She is a complete waste of my time.

what a sick class-less idiot
gosh! commented:
its easy to garden when someone else is doing it for you………………..being a farmer for 30 years don’t need smeone from Chicago telling me how and why……………..

Her secret????? Have her husband come out and speak over it. That’s the richest load of fertilizer you could dump on anything.

Françoise commented:
I hope she included a chapter on illegal garden dust.
Jeff commented:
The White House never tried to make farmers get commercial drivers licenses. That’s a myth.
The basic story is Illinois, the state, started enforcing CDL requirements on drivers. The federal government looked at that and asked Americans if they thought it was a good idea or not. Everyone agreed it is not a good idea so the government chose not to move forward with that regulation. The government is trying to STOP Illinois from making life harder for farmers!!

Does anyone really believe that Mrs. Obama is an avid gardener? I mean, really now. This is all an act. And not a very convincing one.
But then, does dishonesty of intent, coming from this White House, surprise anyone?

So she thinks we all have a backyard for a potential garden?
What an idiot.
Andrew Cuomo commented:
Scrotum?
Jeff commented:
Wow, you guys really hate Michelle Obama.
RedBeard commented:
Yes, Jeff, we know. The feds backed down in the face of hostility from farmers, and most other people with a lick of common sense.
If the bureaucrats thought they had a chance to push more regulations, of course they would have. But this scenario they paint gives them cover. “Who, us? We were just asking, is all.”
RedBeard commented:
We don’t hate Mrs. Obama, Jeff. We just wish she would go away, never to be seen or heard again. There’s a difference.

First they force us to grow our own veggies (Vegan Menu Items) on our own little plots of dirt, then find ways to tax the seed, fertilizer, end crops and then the wind, rain and sun that make it possible.
After cashing our crops to pay the taxes, we just report to the gummint-run soup kitchen for our daily bowl of stone soup — oh, did we forget to remind you to bring your own veggies??

2012 Pres. Candidate Rick Perry: I Don’t Know If Obama’s Birth Certificate Is Real
http://obamareleaseyourrecords.blogspot.com/2011/10/presidential-candidate-rick-perry-i.html
The fact is NOBODY knows if Obama’s Birth Certificate is real since Obama has done EVERYTHING humanly possible to keep the alleged Birth Certificate from being FORENSICALLY EXAMINED.
As many twenty computer and document experts have examined the PDF Copy of Obama’s alleged Birth Certificate and they have all declared it a likely forgery.
The Birth Certificate and Obama’s eligibility is EXTREMEMLY IMPORTANT. Any one who would try to minimise the significance of this is issue is an absolute MORON and a TRAITOR.
KR commented:
Oh look, Moochelle invented vegetable gardening.
Never mind that she is only in the garden for photo shoots.
Barry’s book sales must be waning, this will be a new book liberal college professors can put on their required reading lists for their students.
labwriter commented:
What the frack does this woman know about gardening? She “gardens” without gloves in black shiny boots. For the photo-op, they have to tell her which way the tines on the rake go–”No, Mitchell, turn that around so that the pointy things go into the dirt.” STFU! I’ve “grown my own” for the past 30 years. I don’t need this fracking photo-op queen to tell me what to do.
And yes, Jeff, I certainly do hate this woman and just wish she would go away. She has no business telling me what to do. Oh, seriously, Jeff, do you really think this idiot will be “growing her own” when their time is up in the White House. Of course not. They’re going to be living large on our dime for the rest of their lives. She makes me puke. And that’s the nicest thing I can say about her.

WillofLa commented:
American’s have been gardening for their own food ever since America has existed. Doing it to grow food because people didn’t have the money to buy food during modern times probably since World War One. We saw the emergence of the “Victory garden” during World War Two coming from Great Britain. Growing your own food has pretty much been a world wide thing for centuries and millenia. But here lately, the past 40+ years since McDonald’s became the craze, eateries were all over the place in America since the beginning of 1930′s. Hot Dogs, Hamburger’s, and Diner’s were everywhere. My own grandparents owned a Cafe for over 40 years here in my hometown. My grandfather and his two other brothers were in the resturant business for over 50 years. My grandfathers cafe served breakfast, and lunch. Your could order sandwiches either a club sandwich of sliced turkey or bacon lettace tomato sandwich, or you could order a hamberger with fries. He served lunch which was his specialty. I remember the farmers he always used would bring in fresh vegetables early in the morning, like around 6 am. The cooks in the kitchen would begin cooking lunch before 8 o’clock. They would sit and shell black eyed peas and lima beans, by the five gallon bucket full. He would serve a plate lunch dinner of a meat, which was either veal cutlets, fried chicken, or meat loaf with two vegetable’s of your choice with either a roll or corn bread. All this was fresh every day. He even had a “slop man” that would come by late in the afternoon and would pick up the left over food that was put in a big bucket and he would take it to his farm and feed it to his pigs.
The fresh vegetable’s were grown at farms here locally like turnip greens, beets, corn, black eyed peas, lima beans, spinach, okra, potatoes, all brought in early in the morning and the cooks would shell peas and beans, slice beets, start boiling the greens and spinach, potatoes that would be made into mashed potatoes for lunch. Is your mouth watering yet? Mine is, just remembering all that good food. I had my share of it everyday when I was growing up. In the 70′s when Blacks became main stream, their food was given a name. The food that most Blacks grew up on that was either grown in a garden at their homes, or was bought or traded for from someone who grew food for sale was called, “Soul Food”! When I found out what they were calling “Soul Food” I realized that I had been eating “Soul Food” before it was cool. Other than some of the other less liked meats like “Fat Back”, and “Ham Hocks”, “Chitlen’s” which was sheep intestines boiled and spiced, and stuff like that, the vegetable’s were just what I had eaten all my life when I was growing up.
But as soon as the “franchised joints” became the place where you could go to pick up food real fast, eat, then go, was when all the kids started eating that food parents fed their kids because the mothers were forced out of the home by liberals who said that being a “home maker” was “slavery”, ended fresh foods being fed to the family and kids didn’t even know what turnip greens were anymore, or cabbage, which was another vegetable my grandparents served, including Brussel Sprouts, which may sound weird, but I liked them the first time I ate them. Put a lot of butter on them, and they are great.
But nowadays all the fresh food eating by kids is gone, and the activity that we were involved in all the time when I was a kid is gone and has been replaced with sitting in front of a computer or video games played sitting in front of the TV. Besides, the schools don’t let kids get out and really exercise like they used to. And that is the short history of fresh foods and healthy eating in America.

The next book she will write will have the title of ” How to pick the right cardiac surgeon for you “………..

WillofLa commented:
I love watching the Food Channel because it shows all these great eateries in America that used to be around. Now, people didn’t always have the money to eat at these places all the time. Those places where they show crowds of people standing waiting for their burger or whatever, were not people who ate meals there every day. Things like that were luxuries nearly. When people weren’t eating at these diner’s and hot dog stands, they were eating fresh foods cooked at home. At the time fresh was the only way to buy food because there wasn’t a reliable means of refrigeration on a commercial scale and at home to hold food for long periods of time frozen. But once that took place then food could be freeze dried and transported across the country to be delivered to the franchise joints that were popping up all over the place much more than the hot dog stands like in New York, Atlantic City, the Board Walk etc. I can remember there were a bunch of places in my home town where you could get freshly cooked foods, or your hamburger or hot dog.
I don’t know why all the great eating places are gone. They had a big clientel that kept these places open for years and years. Then suddenly they seemed to disappear almost over night. It’s not like the town filled up with Burger Kings and McDonald’s and wiped out the business of people looking for places like that. There was only ONE McDonald’s in town and later on ONE Burger King, and there was a Griff’s Burger Bar in town. And there was three of those. Even now there is still ONE left in town and is on the site of the last one built in town. And for a while there was only ONE Taco Bell in town. So there was plenty of people in town in order to keep all those eateries in business. They didn’t have to go. There is more variety in eating places now but very few of them.
I believe American’s should be allowed to eat whatever they want, and understand that if their kids are little butter balls, then throw their butts outside and make them get some damn exercise.

More suited for “American Grown Terrorism”

Sadly, the release of this book does not coincide with Bill Ayer’s new release “Home Grown Terrorist” and her husband’s book (under nom de plume, of course), “Home Grown Imposter”.
I’m sure the NYC school system will procure ample copies. Perhaps they can find some room on the same shelf as “How to Select and Purchase a Rubber for your Six-Year Old.”
Sad Country, isn’t it?

Nah, those profits are all for her greedy self, as the left would accuse others.

So she wants to educate us on gardening while she is spending millions on her “trips” and five star restaurants. I read that the veggies in her photo ops did not come from the garden.

October 24, 2011
Highway safety spokesperson blames pedestrian deaths on Michelle Obama’s anti-obesity campaign?
Pedestrian deaths increased sharply during the first half of 2010, according to the GHSA.
In an interview with the Washington Examiner, Harsha said that while there are not yet definitive answers as to why there were more pedestrian deaths in 2010 than 2009, Obama’s “get moving” movement could be at least partially to blame.
“There’s an emphasis these days to getting fit, and I think people doing that are more exposed to risk [of getting hit by a vehicle],” Harsha told the Examiner. “Obviously, further study is needed.”
Harsha also said electronic devices such as cell phones and iPods could have contributed to the higher death rate.
Obama’s “get moving” push is an effort to reduce childhood obesity rates. The movement went into overdrive early last year when President Obama created the White House task force on childhood obesity.
The increase in pedestrian deaths is notable because overall traffic deaths decreased by 8 percent. Moreover, the spike in fatalities in 2010 marks the end of four consecutive years of steady decline in pedestrian deaths.
