On Thursday, November 17th 2011, Congress voted that Pizza be classified as a vegetable because of the tomato paste it contains.
Maybe instead of studying Nutritional Science I should have gone and become a politician.
What do you think? Is this a good thing that will help promote healthy eating, or is it a misdirected political decision?
News reports:
US Congress rules that pizza is a vegetable
Pizza still a vegetable for U.S. Schools
Hilarious petition: Citizens of the USA petition to declare Congress a vegetable
That reminds me of a story I once read about McDonald’s and Pizza Hut logos appearing on Florida’s schools. Kids with good grades even got a free happy meal! Talk about “healthy” incentives…
