Do you care about food being wasted when some go hungry, and the need for people to know more about food origins?
Help Obama set an example for those noble causes.
The website I'm pointing you to says it better than I:

Organize to urge Obama to hire a "White House Farmer!"
None of this stuff is my own idea; just sharing others' good ones.
This site is a forum to follow up on Michael Pollan’s call for a White House Farmer. The farmer will be charged with transforming "five prime south-facing acres of the White House lawn and plant[ing] in their place an organic fruit and vegetable garden" whose produce will be used by the White House Chef, and given to area food banks.
The United States has a White House Chef . . . and now is the time for a White House Farmer.
Everyone, from your family and friends to our First Family and their guests, needs to know who grew their food and how it was grown.
There are hundreds of knowledgeable, passionate farmers out there who could fill this post, and we encourage you to nominate your favorite one.
Voting is only open till the 31st.
Spread it around!
