America Awakes To, Duh, Veggies

On and on roll the foodish stories:

1--Michelle in the veggies, cutting lettuce
2--Seed company sales soar as more Americans "discover" veggie gardening
3--Urban dwellers grow food on their rooftops
4--Kids eating healthier foods at McD's??

5--The healthy role model Prez buys burgers? Is that allowed?

And more.

But somehow all this breathless excitement over what many people and institutions have been encouraging for decades is irritating me.

You mean there's a link between what we eat , how much we weigh  and how we feel? No way.

There's a link between healthy eating and lower healthcare costs for all Americans?  Who knew?

Cooking veggies properly makes them appetizing to young and old alike? Amazing!

Front lawns are a waste of land, soil, time, wildlife, money, and they pollute as well? Wow.

If you don't ever introduce little kids to fast food joints, you have eliminated a major negative issue for all eternity?  You don't say...

And I didn't even mention Alice Waters receiving endless credit for the garden at the WH. Grrr!
