White House Kitchen Garden on video!
Two videos recently came out that feature the White House Kitchen Garden.
The first video series were interspersed in the NBC Primetime special Inside the Obama White House and an accompanying web-only video of White House Food Initiative Coordinator Sam Kass talking up the garden, harvesting lettuce and radishes, and then prepping them in the kitchen. A great summary of the food moments at Obama Foodorama.
The second video was released by The White House, and for a while, was featured on the White House homepage. It features compost, bees, and Philadelphia Phillies star Ryan Howard visiting the garden with Sam Kass. The candid discussion about healthy eating is informative and entertaining to say the least. This video has overnight become the all-time most popular video of a baseball player in a vegetable garden. Once again, Obama Foodorama has the breakdown.
