Is the President breaking the law??? With all this hooey about Urban Farming trademarks and such, I give you these facts:
- President and First Lady Obama have a substantial garden at the White House, which the WH Kitchen staff uses for state dinners and for cooking for the Obama's
- Mr. President has called upon the White House Kitchen Staff to Home brew Beer which President Obama served at their Super Bowl party
- And the Obama's established Bee Hives at the white house. Honey the white house uses.
Now I am not fooling myself. Chances are the next republican elected president will tear out the garden and bring in paving to make a Nascar Track. Hell, even Reagan couldn't wait to tear out Jimmy Carter's Solar Panels on the White House. I always wondered if Reagan went up to the roof and said"Mr. Carter, Tear down those solar panels"
Anyway Mr. President, You now have the opportunity to show those that would copyright and disallow folks to practice in the 2nd oldest profession in the world that they cannot copyright a life style. Especially a lifestyle seem to have embraced, even if Michelle started it.

Well as long as the first family does not call what they are doing "Urban Homesteading" they should be able to keep themselves out of the courtroom. The act of the lifestyle of growing food in your backyard obviously can not be trademarked just a term that goes with it. Much in the same way I can make "CVG Ketchup" but I can not make "CVG Heinz Ketchup"
