I think this is just a misunderstanding as somebody said on the first page. They were merely talking about tomato paste.

Welcome to America. Ketchup's been a vegetable since the 1980s.

I simply can't understand how we have come to the point where we expect the government not only to educate our children, but to feed them to.

I cannot fathom parents that allow that. I never could when I was in school either.

They didn't make any step. Tomato pasted already counted as a serving of vegetables and they were going to change it so that it didn't. It shows how easily people can be manipulated by the media that people will repeat things like "Congress declares pizza is a vegetable" when it's not even close to the truth.


No. You are wrong. Stupid americans think that pizza is a vegetable. hahaha so laughable. Dumb americans.That is why they are all so fat. Now I will go back to being from my irrelevant country with a population smaller than Mexico City.

Sarcasm doesn't work that way. Specifically you can't be sarcastic about the stereotype that americans are ignorant idiots and then prove you are one in the very next sentence by declaring whole countries irrelevant, because their population is under an arbitrary threshold set by you(apparently you, a population of 1, are "relevant" and "special").

Btw, Germany, the country of the first poster in the quote chain, does not have a lower population than Mexico City, so...
a) You are randomly insulting a bunch of countries for no reason
b) You don't know Germany has a higher population than Mexico City

So in conclusion... good job keeping the stereotype alive!

I can't help laughing that the US congress actually made the pizza a vegetable. Can now troll health activists that pizza is healthy and should be eaten daily. Seriously though, how can politicians not have common sense. Wonder how much money they were given by the lobby activists.

It's only natural for someone to get defensive and to begin making offensive responses to people when they've read 5+ pages of insults directed towards their country. Maybe try to be more understanding of his response instead of continuing to stereotype and criticize Americans. Honestly, his post was much more understandable and worthy of tolerance than many of the ridiculous nation bashing that preceded his, which have yet to receive a warning or ban I might add.

Truly shows the weight of corporate companies and advertisement in politics. Its too unrealistic to even be considered a joke. Why do I play starcraft 2? for fun, self motivation? no, to get away from idiots who make these justifications, shame on these people, the implications it will have are astounding.

i'm not fat.


it's obvious the government did this to cut corners and not have to revamp the school lunch system. it's nothing new to americans because they do stuff like this all the time, but this one is just extra funny because it makes the government look so stupid.

So many jokes about this, it's awesome. Definitely got a laugh out of it. Seems like congress is purposely trying to get people fat now.

Has less to do with making a ridiculous food item a vegetable and more to do with controlling what people eat. Here is what the bill does:"
Block the Agriculture Department from limiting starchy vegetables, including corn and peas, to two servings a week. The rule was intended to cut down on french fries, which many schools serve daily.
Allow USDA to count two tablespoons of tomato paste as a vegetable, as it does now. Federally subsidized lunches must have a certain number of vegetables to be served.
Require further study on long-term sodium reduction requirements set forth by the USDA guidelines.
Require USDA to define “whole grains” before they regulate them. The USDA rules require schools to use more whole grains."

Overall the story has been pretty sensationalized, as pizza is not a vegetable, but rather the tomato sauce(which is really a fruit). My question is why not regulate the "unhealthy" foods themselves instead of making these ridiculous tradeoffs involving potatoes, corn, peas, and tomato paste?
I used to be just like you, then I took a sweetroll to the knee.

Actually, that isn't too much of a stretch in some cases lol. When I was in the Navy, the Wendy's on the Naval Air Station where I was stationed got busted for not rotating their beef patties by the Army inspectors. They ended up using the government issue (I was an SK- aka supply rating that picked these orders) hamburger patties which were something like 90% soy. I laughed everytime I went into Wendy's with their advertised 100% beef knowing full well that was BS. "Where's the Beef" indeed!

Kindof makes me wonder wtf these fast food places are really serving. Maybe pizza really is a vegetable in the US lol (that would be a relief actually) :D
