'Merican as fuck.
Only in this country would we put aside petty partisan differences to unite on not giving a fuck about health, and that is a glorious thing. Our waistlines are as big as our balls here. European countries would have dissolved their governments and started protesting by now

While I find this pretty funny. I don´t understand why the guy from the article was so outraged. Pizza is not unhealthy at all. Its basically Bread with tomato sauce. Just add a lot of vegetables, little meat, not much fatty cheese and its actually healthy and delicious.

Don't give a shit what law is passed, doesn't change the FACT that a pizza is NOT a vegetable.
I mean.. Nah, fuck it. It's just not a vegetable, no discussion required.

It's just... different in America. Special, if you will.

Your knowledge about healthy nutrition is very limited. (Frozen) pizza is fairly unhealthy when compared to the intended vegetable serving.

You're kidding right? A tomato is a fruit, because it has seeds.
When I was in school, we just pretty much didn't classify pizza as any particular food group (or called it a "combination", like peanut butter and jelly), because it covered a little from a bunch of different food groups.
Pizza =/= vegetable. It's partially from the grains group (crust), partially from the fruit group (tomato sauce), and partially from the dairy group (cheese), but unless you have toppings, I don't see how any part of it is vegetable.

It's not, but many fat italians would wish it was.

HuffPost has a bias but that being said this is sad. as some1 who follows american politics this is sad we have way more important issues to deal with

Can't get all your daily servings of healthy foods? Just re-classify everything so you can. Fuck yeah.
This just in:
We're also re-naming red M&Ms as grains, yellow M&Ms as dairy, blue M&Ms as fruit, green M&Ms as vegetables, and all other colored M&Ms as meat, because we fucking love meat.
In other words, one dollar a day at the local vending machine will keep you happy and healthy as can be!
+ Show Spoiler +Just don't go near those "doctor" people. They'll make up some story about your teeth rotting and your diet being terrible.

I thought pizza has always been classified as a vegetable because of the tomato sauce. Don't see why this is a big deal or shocking/upsetting. Lobbyists gonna lobby.
|
First, I thought I misunderstood the topic. So I started reading the article and thought after a few sentences "pizza lobby's force strong must be"
At any rate, you may still be wondering how it came to pass that Congress arrived at the conclusion that pizza could count as a serving of vegetables. Wonder no more! Congress was guided along this path by lobbyists. And lobbyists can do all sorts of things, by magic! (Except provide nutritious lunches for children.) And lol'd...
Common sense.. where are you? Well, actually it makes sense but considering pizza as vegetables.. really?.. -_-
