Michelle Obama started her own garden, which is the biggest White House kitchen garden so far, when her daughters Malia and Sasha were not receiving nutritious meals. They had been eating out a lot and the family's pediatrician recommended a diet change. This was revealed in Michelle Obama's book entitled "American Grown: The story of the White House Kitchen Garden".
This
year, the kitchen garden, as it is called, for the first time included
orange sweet potato, a root vegetable that is rich in vitamin A that
most Nigerians and
Africans are conversant with. The sweet potato was chosen to highlight its
role in improving the nutrition and health of millions of children and
women throughout Sub-Saharan Africa by providing this essential
nutrient.
Under
First Lady Michelle Obama, the White House kitchen garden has been
expanded and reinvigorated to include a wide range of herbs, fruits, and
vegetables. It serves to educate people, especially children, on the
importance of good nutrition and the role that vegetables and fruits can
play in improving health. The sweet potatoes that were planted in the
garden were provided by North
Carolina State University (NCSU) and include Covington, a variety
developed at NCSU, and Beauregard, a variety developed at Louisiana
State University.

ReplyDeleteThough I don't like Jonathan for many reasons but am proud of him for doing what non other Nigeria leader has not done
ReplyDeleteJonathan is the first Nigeria leader that present his real wife that suffered with him as the firs lady ..I will not say more than that because you know it morevthan I do
If our no 3 man become president today you know his first lady. If OGA atiku enters you know his own.
All the married women that has suffered with their husband should be celebrating OGA jona and the wife of his youth .
When things better for African man then hevwill realise that his wife is too fat ,illiterate, not presentable
As a woman I pray for you any lady,star actress, miss hell fire.etc that want to take your sit when your husband you are struggling with now becomes popular shall fall down and die .
If you say Amen don't abuse mama peace again .celebrate their marriage . they have done what no Nigeria leader can do
Remembered I am not a fan of Jonah but I like his courage in only this aspect
