try adding fruits and vegetables to their diet. You know, like moms and grandmothers have told children for generatios, yes, she's a mother. And yes, it's good for your health.

The garden came under immediate attack from corporations, lobbyists and the usual list of suspects in the media. Remember their technique of repetition of something, and how they generate urgency, hatred and fear, as they meet together each week or few days, to organize tehir attacks on radio and television, video and other internet sites, plus the newspapers and magazines.

This is a nasty little technique, but Americans have been trained to think in soundbites by commercial programs, with their time spans. In Europe and at one time here on the public airways (sold off to private corporations with a little bonus like CSPAN tossed to appear they wre working in the public interest) which was once the legal standard for licensing, but when it's just entertainment, that falls under the blinders called 'business.' So they have on such control now.

The RWnuts absolutely went beserk about the organic garden. The main lobbyist for chemical companies sent her a rather insane letter, saying that pushing organic food was going to 'starve people' and 'make people fat,' but whether a food is organic or not, it's not usually a factor in starvation or getting fat. It's the variety of food and quantity available.

Suddenly, GOP and all, were just so concerned about the poors, oh yeah, that's a keeper. Rush chatted about her derriere and being out of shape. Uh, really, Rush?

The media used the old canard of calling Barack her 'baby's daddy' as of she was a 'welfare queen,' or a loose woman. Really? A Harvard graduate and attorney, where did she find the time to indulge herself in such a way?

Says a lot about them, oh yes it does, always running the dirty picture show, gossiping about things that don't meet logic, defy common sense and they enjoy being titillated by THEIR fantasies.

All of this saturates radio and every website. The trolling so apparent, sites have had to change their rules. Talking about gardening, cooking, sewing, hobbies, books? They show p with a dreary regularity to post, even at times admitting they have reviewed anything, and call it problematic, caused by Obama, liberals and Democrats. You can see the sneer in the words.

These real life zombies stir up their putrified blood to follow her every word and deed and twist them into something ugly, and they publish something new every single day.

They hate both Obamas, who are only trying to do the right for everyone. These trolls had their chance to do the right thing. They went the other way. I guess the pay is so good they don't need a conscience.
