WHY CCHE?
The nation’s First Family rolls up their sleeves to volunteer in soup kitchens to help those without food to eat. The First Lady reinstitutes the White House vegetable garden, which by the way, is the first to grow food since First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt’s famous Victory Garden more than sixty years ago.

Clearly, issues of obesity are on the public agenda and that can be a good thing. More »
