Public officials, celebrities, and other notable people who "Eat the View"
This article here in the Times Union (NY) shows how the New York Governor's mansion is showing the way. Maine's first family, the Baldacci's, also eat from a backyard garden and greenhouse that was installed at the Blaine House, the official residence of the Governor.
I'd be interested to know about other well-known folks - politicians, celebrities, etc - who eat from gardens, be they privately financed or public.
Any other examples that you can think of?

Hello There Roger-
Just joined today and wrote you privately about a different topic.
Perhaps the most notable famous person in this category would be HRH Prince Charles.
The popular "Dutchy Originals" food line even includes a new organic beer.
He insists on organic methods and is a supporter of preserving heirloom varieties.
His book, written with Stephanie Donaldson, "Elements of Organic Gardening," was published last year.
In it he writes:
"At Highgrove I have done my utmost to create a kind of archive of rare and endangered fruit, vegetables, trees, and plants – a repository that, I hope, will help in a small way to preserve the essential biodiversity on which, ultimately, our survival depends,"
