Will You Read Michelle Obama's White House Gardening Book?

First lady Michelle Obama is a healthy eating advocate and an obesity fighter, and now she's going to become an author as well.

Her new book, signed by the Crown Publishing Group, will be all about the garden she started on the South Lawn of the White House and her journey through the healthy eating campaign she has been so passionately disseminating. She received no advance to write this book, and all proceeds will be donated to a charity or charities to be determined.

As the garden she started from scratch has yielded more than 2,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables, according to the White House, Mrs. Obama's book is supposed to be inspirational and instructive, and she'll be sharing some of her favorite healthy recipes.

Will our readers spend their time reading her book or do they have better things to do? Find out here.

Claire V.
Absolutely, yes!

Stephanie A.
Seems like the Obamas would have bigger things on their minds than a veggie garden or a March Madness bracket! They are idiots! So to answer the question, NO!

Latifa D.
Yes, I will. She is very intelligent. Can't wait!

Laura M.
Not a chance...

Jennifer R.
Absolutely, especially since it's going to charity!

Patty P.
Yes, she has alot of good ideas to fight obesity in children, and she has alot of good idieas for healthy eating, so Im very interested in what she has to say about gardening and nutrition. : )

I do agree with Stephanie, the Obama should find something better to do with their time.....like he should do the job the American Taxpayers pay him to do.

Now as far as Michelle goes, this is a joke right? I am actually supposed to believe the Michelle is tending the gardens? I'm sure the American Taxpayers are paying for her gardening staff too. I think the only time she goes out there is for a photo op.

I'm sure this book will end up in the Dollar Stores next to his other books. To answer the question, if I wanted as book on gardening I would buy one written by an expert....NOT Michelle Obama.

Maybe, MAYBE, if she stopped dining on Lobster and ice cream while telling us to eat carrots she would be more convincing. But she is so two faced. so No I could care less about what she, or anyone in the government, thinks I should do. Wake up sheeple...

Does anyone believe that Michelle Obama is near that garden except for photo ops and show off time with visitors? She knows nothing about gardening and should have the humility to NOT put her name on a book that she won't have written.

I also do not believe that she keeps bees, nor that Barack makes beer -- funny, isn't it, that they credit HIM with the manly beer making. I suppose a brewing First Lady is too un-pc.

Who believes the massive quantities of food that they claim comes from that little patch of lawn? This is all a big lie told to us by handlers desperate to make Michelle Antoinette look more interesting and deserving of respect than she is.

I would like to see an article on how she pays for all the clothes and accessories that she buys. That woman must change clothes three times a day.
