Ryan Howard hunts for healthy food!
How does this baseball stud stay fit? Not with tons of protein powder and crash diets, but with organic vegetables! And the Philadelphia Phillies player Ryan Howard is taking a tour of the White House garden with executive chef Sam Kass to find some good, natural eats fresh from the ground!
Organic living is Ryan’s secret for staying in shape and even slimming down—he has lost 20 pounds just by eating healthy, natural food. Trading in his cheese burgers for fruits and vegetables wasn’t easy, but Sam gives Ryan some good tips for hearty, filling foods that make up a balanced diet.
The Obama garden is pretty impressive with tons of different, seasonal fruits and veggies grown for the White House Kitchen and given to Miriam’s Kitchen, which serves the homeless in Washington, DC. But Ryan wasn’t expecting to see a fully fledged compost bin and White House honey bees.
Do you think that you could go organic for the summer? You may not be able to explore the Obama’s garden, but you could start your own vegetable or fruit garden at your school or in your community! Check if your town has community gardens or farms you can volunteer at.
Tell us what you think of the Obama’s garden—any suggestions for how they could go even greener? Comment below!
