US Congress rules that pizza is a vegetable

The salt industry, potato growers, and some conservative politicians who said that the federal government shouldn’t be involved in telling children what to eat, also lobbied against the change.

SMFH.... the federal govt was doing so because that is what the people are asking for: healthier lunches at their school for their children. Also, I don't know if they still have pop machines in schools, but those should also be banned.

Pepper, onions etc. Ever tried a veggie pizza?

I ate one once and it had artichokes, sun dried tomatoes, olives, onions, mushrooms etc. It was delicious.

A pizza can be super unhealthy but there are ways to make it healthy.


Yeah, well a veggie pizza. But all pizza is now classified as a vegetable. Cheese pizza is also the most common pizza eaten, then pepperoni, then sausage, then maybe veggie. This is all true, i've done extensive research on the subject.

I'm just trying to look at this from the government's perspective.

The government is retarded though. You shouldn't try to look at anything through their perspective, you might cause permanent damage. :(

I'm glad our government values our children's health over business interests.

Yeah I agree with you. The idea that pizza can be labeled as a vegetable is insane. However, it is possible to make a pizza with a 1-2 servings of vegetables. But seeing the quality of food that school cafeterias produce, it is very unlikely that they'd make such a pizza.

I remember summers at my grandmother's garden. she would grow the most beautiful, succulent pizzas you ever saw. she would grow both kinds, new york style and deep dish style.
we'd gently pluck fold the little 'slices" as they are called, off the pizza trees and just put them ever so gently in paper tissue to drain the natural grease that would come off the "cheese" (that's what us pizza farmers call the stringy residue that comes off it) it fills my heart with joy to see congress do the right thing and include this very important vegetable in children's diet.

OMFG! I'm dying here. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Even veggie pizzas can be pretty terrible if you buy them at a restaurant. I don't think people realize just how much cheese/grease/salt is put on their pizza until they've made one fresh at home. Seeing how much cheese I had to put on to get even 1/2 of the cheesiness of restaurant pizza made me balk at how much cheese/grease/salt they had to add to get their pizza to look and taste how it did.
