First Lady Goes Organic Food Shopping

The Secret Service and the D.C. police brought in three dozen vehicles and shut down H Street, Vermont Avenue, two lanes of I Street and an entrance to the McPherson Square Metro station. They swept the area, in front of the Department of Veterans Affairs, with bomb-sniffing dogs and installed magnetometers in the middle of the street, put up barricades to keep pedestrians out, and took positions with binoculars atop trucks. Though the produce stand was only a block or so from the White House, the first lady hopped into her armored limousine and pulled into the market amid the wail of sirens. Then, and only then, could Obama purchase her leafy greens. "Now it's time to buy some food," she told several hundred people who came to watch. "Let's shop!"...WPost

Congratulations to the first lady! People need to be made aware that they are slowly poisoning themselves with chemically treated food. Organic foods are the only way to go.

Overall, eating organically may be a little more expensive, but there is a definite benefit for people who follow an organic diet now and in the future.
