(The Straits Times) — US FIRST Lady Michelle Obama welcomes spouses of world leaders attending the UN General Assembly for a luncheon at a New York farm next week to highlight sustainable agriculture, the White House said on Friday.

The wife of President Barack Obama will next Friday join the visiting spouses to tour Stone Barns Centre, a non-profit farm and education centre north of New York, officials said.

‘Spouses will take tours of the farm where they will see herbs and other ingredients that will be used in the luncheon… students from a local school will demonstrate their experiences in hands-on farming such as harvesting vegetables and collecting eggs from pasture-raised hens,’ said the White House.

Located in Pocantico Hills, 50km north of New York city, the farm is a working operation that seeks to ‘celebrate, teach and advance community-based food production,’ and is host to the renowned Blue Hill restaurant where the visiting dignitaries will sit down for lunch.

Michelle Obama has championed healthy lifestyles since arriving in Washington after her husband’s landmark 2008 win, and even spearheaded a working organic garden on the White House grounds.

The garden has yielded 725kg of vegetables, berries and herbs, used for White House events and donated to local Washington soup kitchens.

What she doesn't know about farming, let alone 'Sustainable' farming, has filled entire libraries.  But then, that's true of most of the dingbats she's preaching to, as well.

And yet, she's on vacation almost every other month pictured with an ice cream cone stuffed in that face of hers on several different occasions. :whatever:

I'd rather not have them there at the White House anyways, they don't belong there. :-)
As for dumbo speaking at the UN, I will not watch because, just the sound of his voice pisses me off and I can only imagine the garbage he will be rambling standing at that podium. :bird: :censored:

Oh, God, I would LOVE to see these people do the normal day-to-day work that takes place on a farm...scooping shit, feeding animals, gelding horses, slaughtering a calf or cow, (hell, milking one would be a riot to watch), a few hours of nice manual labor digging shit out of the ground...

You know, the fun stuff.

How can one have substable farming when the seeds being planted cannot reproduce themselves.?

Is there not some kind of law that says if a farmers reproducible plants blow with the wind onto a neighbors field and they are planting the hybrid plants that do not reproduce but do have a larger yield the farmer with the natural plants can be sued for messing up the hybrid crop ?

Is this why we see advertisements for reproducible seeds that have capsules to protect them for years if hidden or buried underground to keep them from confiscated by the government at a future date.?
