Bad news about the Obama garden, but not really a surprise (see http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jul/02/michelle-obama-vegetable-garden-lead for a sample article).
The real issue that needs to be addressed is the overall soil, water and air quality that millions of people, animals and plants are exposed to every day.
Sounds like a great idea to plant yourself a garden, but do you really know what is in your soil? You can try and grow organic, but what if the rain water that falls on your garden is chemical laden. Lets hope this brings the complexities of our industrial life into a new light.
