Eat your veggies!
Nov. 18th, 2011 10:01 pmA WTF moment, courtesy of America's lawmakers:
A newsreport on CBC tells us that the US Congress is pushing through a bill to classify Pizza as a -wait for it- VEGETABLE! It's all that tomato sauce, I suppose. The Frozen food industry is worried the push to have schools serve healthier food to kids will hurt their pizza sales.
Guess the frozen food lobbyists are more influential than I thought...they have the power to get laws of nature changed. So now all those chubby kids can scarf all the pizza the schools can give them without any guilt. After all, they're eating their veggies.
Really? Huh.
I ate my veggies today: leeks and potatoes in soup, green beans, peas, carrots with my mac and cheese. But not on pizza.
