Gardening as a PRODUCTIVE FITTNESS SPORT that saves money on the GYM ,HOSPITAL and GROCERY BILLS!
Last year the British government added Gardening as sports activity to boost the reputation of the country which is hosting the coming Olymics in 2012.
The English and French are Organic Productive farming/gardening enthusiasts .Comparing ourselves here in USA with the Europeans could be embarrassing!
Comes the inauguration of the Organic Garden at the White House.Change is in the air.There are growing interest among home owners and city dwellers here in US to start growing their own food and start changing the image which the world looks upon us as home for the American Diet which is the mother of all... you know what I mean...
Obesity is on its highest rates among the population and Americans are eating less of fruit and vegetables(Could it be the unemployment high rates or the lack of exercise or the unhealthy food diet as a reason?) .
The latest studies and surveys revealed.But..there is something positive going on.With the propaganda war on illegal migrant farmers and the new Arizona Law fallbacks people are taking the shovels into their own hands and transforming their inefficient lawn gardens into productive organic vegetable gardens to fight back the illegal migrant farmers "stealing our jobs"!
Good news .Lot of people now are looking for classes to learn how to grow their own food.More CSA are sprouting around the country.More farms and more lands are being used to grow food at the backyards of churches and home owners not to mention the community gardens that are changing the face of the crime infested and neglected neighborhoods.Good news that we are changing our attitude towards the land and offcourse towards our bodies that have been for long fed junk food.No more..tHERE IS CHANGE GOING ON THE GROUND AND SOON WE WILL HARVESTMORE HEALTHY ORGANIC FOOD FROM OUR TRANSFORMED BACKYARDS.
The thing which we will reap also is less obesity and less health problems as we work out our bodies and minds in the garden and farm.Sweat the toxins out and get more fittness from the functional garden movements.
Soon we will be beating the Europeans on the garden grounds as well as on the Olympics grounds.Keep on HANDS on the Garden and KEEP HANDS OFF the small Urban Farmers that are now sprouting like crazy.
Stay fit .. Garden!
