the whole idea comes from when congress voted to count the tomato sauce on pizza as a serving of vegetables in kids cafeterias as an opposition to Obama trying to bring in healthier shit if i recall correctly.

i believe it was only the amount. its always been considered a serving of vegetable, but they wanted to increase the amount of tomato sauce required so that pizza, which doesnt have that much tomato sauce, would be excluded as a serving size. thus, forcing schools to offer something in addition to or different from pizza. when it was eventually agreed that the lower amount could count (i.e., the amount on pizza was considered a serving size), idiots and sensationalists took it to mean that pizza is considered a vegetable. dumbasses in the media and on the internet then began spouting "america thinks pizza is a vegetable," because actually doing research and using your brain is hard.

that "tomato sauce is a vegetable debate" on capitol hill had to do with tax classification or something, don't think it had to with pizza as a substitute for veggies.

This is not a fight over pizza. It is, instead, a fight about tomato paste. Specifically, it’s a fight about how much of the product counts as one serving of vegetables.
Right now, tomato paste gets a sort of special treatment under school lunch regulations. Just “an eighth of a cup of tomato paste is credited with as much nutritional value as half a cup of vegetables,” my colleague Dina ElBoghdady explained last week.
The Obama administration guidelines, outlined in January, would have nixed tomato paste’s extra credit, counting a half cup as a half cup. “Under this proposal, schools would credit tomato paste and puree based on actual volume as served,” the regulation, published in the Federal Register on Jan. 13, 2011, explains. “Schools would not be allowed to credit a volume of fruits or vegetables that is more than the actual serving size.”

Measuring fruit and vegetable servings by volume is a bit of an odd convention in the first place. When it comes to calories and nutrients, they’re really all over the map. A half-cup of avocado is quite nutritionally different from a half-cup of zucchini
