Obamafoodorama posts on a video showing the White House compost operation. Although I sometimes mock parts of the food movement, composting is right down my alley. It fits the Calvinistic/Lutheran piety I was brought up with: waste not, want not. Inevitably if you're cooking there is some waste, trimmings and inedible parts of plants (although I eat baked potatoes skins and all). And the larger the operation the more likely you'll have some spoilage. So I like to see people composting, even though it's difficult to do the way the books say. You don't always have the right mixture of materials and it can be difficult to keep the moisture and oxygen at the right level.
But all that said, composting is a good thing.
