I loved this NY Times article about the Obamas breaking ground on a vegetable garden in DC and was fascinated by this piece about chickens in the Bronx.
I am also a big fan of Roosevelt/Obama parallels. Turns out Franklin and Eleanor were the last folks to have an edible garden at 1600 Pennsylvania.
Regarding the chickens: they may be just about perfect for urban living. Eggs are delicious and nutritious; chickens make great city dwellers; and, perhaps best of all, they are extremely annoying and cook up nicely (negating the guilt factor and pleasing the palette).

Urban Chickens. Local eggs. Returning to a knowledge of your food source. Talk about a revolution in thought. Not long ago (and to this day) some young urban school kids depicted a FISH STICK swimming beneath the blue waves. Hopefully this garden is literally fuitful as well as representative of a larger cultural shift.
