Michelle Obama Writes Book On White House Garden For Charity
Written by Vegetarian Star on March 17th, 2011 in Books, Charitable Causes And Campaigns, Food & Drink, Gardening.
Michelle Obama is penning a book about the White House Garden and her efforts to ingrain healthier eating habits in Americans.
The book is untitled as of now and Crown Publishing Group, a unit of Random House publishers, has set a release date for April 2012. Inside readers will find Obama family recipes and photos of not only the White House Garden, but gardens from communities and schools all over the United States.
The First Lady is donating all proceeds from the book to a charity not yet named and she received no advance for writing it.
Mrs. Obama is the first to revive the garden at the White House since Eleanor Roosevelt did during World War II.
She has used the garden as a hands on approach to teaching, especially local schoolchildren, the value of consuming fresh produce and learning where food comes from. During it’s first year, the garden yielded approximately 1,000 pounds of produce that was utilized in the White House kitchen to feed the First Family, staff and guests who attended events there.
