Erm....I could see it as baked goods....but a vegetable? Seriously?
|
What..... The..... Fuckkk is going on..... My mind is blown now.
|
The thing is that public schools have to conform to standards about how many fruits/veggies/etc they serve per day, but they dont have the budget to buy real vegetables of quality that kids will actually consume. I'd rather have my tax dollars go to pizza for kids whose mothers are too lazy to pack a healthy lunch, than to lima beans that end up in the trash.
tricky situation

Pretty sure this is another case of the media running with the most ridiculous headline in order to drive up clicks/revenue. What they really said is "pizza has a serving of vegetables" not "pizza is a vegetable." Just like if I said "This soup has a serving of vegetables" it would be silly to say "are you crazy? soup isn't a vegetable, it's soup!"

well pizza is mostly cheese and bread so .............. hrm

Its a pretty big news source.

After reading an article, the only change seems to be that instead of the tomato paste on pizza counting as half a serving of vegetables, it now counts as a whole serving.
|
This is completely false and misleading.
Pizza is not a vegetable.
What this new bill says is that two tablespoons of tomato paste is considered a vegetable. Currently it takes half a cup of tomato paste to count as a vegetable, which pizzas don't have.

If you ever wondered if lobbying was harming your country or if business has too much power over it, here's your answer.
This is retarded.

Sigh
Must be a really slow news day..

This is pretty much the interpretation to take.
There's a serious issue underlying (though definitely not news), about business interests buying congressional legislature through lobbying, but that doesn't make the headline in this case.

uhhhh. wat. pizza is a meal created out of many ingredients. Its like saying sushi is a meat.
|
pizza gets a bad rap. its really not THAT unhealthy (depending what you put on it). it does have some vegetables on it sometimes.
granted it itself is not a vegetable.
|
Didn't it have something to do with the amount of tomato on top of the pizza causing it to be qualified as good food or something, eitherway, if you follow the links around a bit you end up on this article which explains a bit better what's going on. Sadly it doesn't make it a less weird of a situation.

thats like saying a tomato is a fruit omfg
