Very interesting decision considering how much sugar is inserted in tomato paste. 100g tomato paste contains 12g sugar 100g Coca Cola also contains 12g sugar Congress could just as well classify sodas as vegetables... While tomato paste is not really unhealthy the fact that it always comes with a slice of pizza makes for a pretty shitty nutrition for school children. I guess anything with 12 grams of sugar or more should count as a vegetable! Because that's exactly why tomato paste counts as one, lol... I agree with the second part of your post though. | ||

Even if the market is already saturated, the demand is simply insatiable. It's like legal crack! | ||

People are waking up at breakneck speeds.. The next 10 years will be filled with riots, starting in Europe, then here at home. The financial sector has royally fucked us. | ||

and to think anything beyond 1 food product (pizza is multiple food products imo) could be categorized | ||

If you can really use only dough (which serves for carbohydrates), proper tomato sauce and spinach (vegetables) and cheese (proteins, calcium). Then Pizza is actually pretty healthy coupled with some salad. Kinda doubt that school cafeteria's are going to be making this type of pizza, though. The problem with this isn't necessarily that pizza is super unhealthy for you, it's that considering them a vegetable means that real vegetables will be taken off of the menu with the excuse that pizza counts as enough vegetables. | ||

On November 20 2011 00:55 Conti wrote: No, that's not correct. This is about whether tomato paste should count as vegetables or not. The whole "Pizzas are now vegetable!" meme is a pure invention. In fact, two table spoons of tomato paste already count as vegetable, so by the media's logic, pizzas already are vegetables.  The new bill initially proposed to change "2 tablespoons of tomato paste counts as vegetable" to "0.5 tablespoons counts as vegetable", but now they're back to the status quo (2 tablespoons instead of 0.5). That is all. But of course it's much more fun to claim that the US now declares pizza a vegetable. People will go to your news site to read about that, regardless of whether it is a made-up fantasy or not.  (Edit: Oops, forgot the source: http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hZy7qHYu4-qXuTWRJm192734Gs6w?docId=6b9a38b3ae5c40979b7be9ba8f1ac176 On November 20 2011 01:19 Conti wrote: Of course, the whole thing is still ridiculous even if you take out the sensationalism. I just find the sensationalism in this case just as ridiculous. Not to mention that people get it backwards, anyhow: It's not about declaring pizza/tomato paste as vegetables, it's about preventing the bill from declaring less tomato sauce as vegetables. Tomato sauce already is being declared a vegetable.I like how, despite these two posts, everyone still just chimes in by ringing the bells of sensationalism. Congress actually made a ruling that is good (0.5 TB as vegetables would have meant Pizza had more servings, and been even more ridiculous). Furthermore, Pizza is no more a vegetable than a bunch of Oreos with 2 tablespoons of tomato paste slapped on. Oh, and I like how the "article" throws in some GOP bashing too. We already know other countries dislike them, but I'm not even sure why they were mentioned since the "article" doesn't state much of anything about the actual process of the bill and what it had to do with political parties. | ||
