President Obama hosts White House Easter Egg Roll in Washington

The White House was scheduled to welcome chefs from one of Planet Green’s latest shows, Future Food, this weekend for the annual Easter Egg Hunt.

According to a news release, Homaro “Omar” Cantu and Ben Roche took the south Lawn to create a snack for egg hunters made from organic, locally sourced fruit.

The theme for this year’s hunt was Ready, Set, Go!, in conjunction with First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! campaign  meant to squash childhood obesity.

Hope your Easter was as much fun as in D.C.

If you threw your own hunt in the backyard, hope you used cage-free eggs.

Better yet, next Easter aim to completely take animal products out of your hunt and have children look for something equally delicious like avocados or potatoes.
