November 19, 201113 yr Before anyone complains "DERP THIS IS WHY AMERICA IS FAT DERP DERP" nobody is making you eat pizza. Though it is a vegetable so it should be healthier.
November 19, 201113 yr I feel like anyone who voted for this should immediately be removed from congress. If you consider pizza a vegetable serving, you shouldn't be allowed to feed children, forget taking care of the country. Pizza is not a vegetable, it just isn't. First of all, tomato is a fruit, and second of all pizza is not healthy.
November 19, 201113 yr So apparently congress can decide it can define things in a language with no authoritative guidelines, in addition they're classifying something simultaneously made of grain, cheese, (often) meat, and a thinly spread watery plant. Brilliant as a dark energy star. They deserve their approval rating.
November 20, 201113 yr WTF!? PIZZA A VEGETABLE!? They are now just being lazy and asking for more American obesity. I mean seriously, pizza a vegetable? Do these people need to go back to kindergarden and learn their food groups!? Tomatoes are fruits (and ketchup is a condiment) Cheese is dairy The crust is bread/grains Unless you have vegetables on the pizza, there is nothing on it remotely resembling any vegetable!!! This is why america is fat.
November 20, 201113 yr tutti frutti. Strangely enough a buddy of mine actually told about this, and I didn't even believe him on this. But seriously, wth!?!? Pizza a vegetable? If you put vegetable based ingredients on a pizza, then I can see SOME vegetable on the food, but not as a whole. Ultimately I find pizza among the most non-vegetable foods this world has to offer. First congress complains about America being too obese, and then passes something as crazy as "pizza being a vegetable"? I'm starting to worry where this country is going in more ways than one.
November 20, 201113 yr Even though I'm Canadian, and I try my hardest not to join in on stereotyping America as "fat and lazy", I have to be honest... news like this REALLY isn't helping out.
November 20, 201113 yr So I guess when mothers say "eat your vegetables" the children will ask for pizza since it IS a vegitable
November 20, 201113 yr Anyone who thinks that pizza is not a vegtable is a communist infiltrator and must be captured and executed on sight! And anyone who dare say that Pizza come from Italy and Hamburgers come from Germany will be torn apart by 30 Bald Eagles!
November 20, 201113 yr Author Even though I'm Canadian, and I try my hardest not to join in on stereotyping America as "fat and lazy", I have to be honest... news like this REALLY isn't helping out. So true!
November 20, 201113 yr I feel like anyone who voted for this should immediately be removed from congress. If you consider pizza a vegetable serving, you shouldn't be allowed to feed children, forget taking care of the country. Pizza is not a vegetable, it just isn't. First of all, tomato is a fruit, and second of all pizza is not healthy. Exactly. Congress is just trying to avoid paying money for things that will actually help innocent children. It's nice to know that these people are running my country. Which is why I can't read/watch the news.
November 21, 201113 yr don't they know that pizza=obesity!!! i really want to know where they came up with this idea in the first place
November 21, 201113 yr Author Tomato=fruit Pizza=vegtable? SMH Ironic. A food with no vedgetables is now a vedgetable...
November 22, 201113 yr Anyone who thinks that pizza is not a vegetable is a communist infiltrator and must be captured and executed on sight! Pizza is NOT a vegetable. It's a fruit! Tomatoes are fruits! Why is everybody so racist to tomatoes!? Tomatoes have feelings too! But seriously, this is actually really ironic because the reason they declared it a vegetable was because they needed to make school lunches healthier. Now people will have an excuse to eat pizza, and everybody will get even fatter.
November 22, 201113 yr 20 years ago, pizza wasn't actually that unhealthy. Now it's about 400 calories more, loaded with bad fats & carbs. This is just ridiculous.
