In an effort to help raise funds for Barack Obama reelection campaign -- which: let's face it, he's a shoo-in for four more years -- First Lady Michelle Obama and delicate-masher-of-garlic-so-as-not-to-bruise-the-clove's-oil maven, Alice Waters, will help host at least two breakfast fundraisers on June 14. Berkeleyside notes: "Tickets to see the First Lady range from $1,000 for general seating at the Claremont to $5,000 for the photo reception to $25,000 to be a 'co-host.' "
Waters and Obama, if you recall, have loads in common. The Chez Panisse founder once wrote a letter to the White House, urging the Obamas to select a chef who would make health and environmentalism a top priority. And, just last week, Michelle helped introduce the new USDA food plate, which champions healthier (not to mention tastier!) eating.
