What the White House Garden Would Look Like If They Followed Their Own Ag Policy

   I got this from OrganicConsumers.org. It references Kitchen Gardeners International, but I was unable to find these illustrations on that website.

What the White House Garden Would Look Like If They Followed Their Own Ag Policy

Thanks to Roger Doiron of Kitchen Gardeners International, a Maine-based nonprofit, for putting together these great visual aids. He writes:

In a nutshell, I was really inspired by the diversity and nutritiousness of the crops planted in the White House kitchen garden this spring and thought it would be eye-opening - not to mention jaw-dropping - to see what the White House garden would look like if it were planted to reflect the relative importance of the crops that our tax dollars are actually supporting.

You'll see that there's very little resemblance between America's Kitchen Garden and our "Subsidy Garden"
