"Kids, eat your vegetables", a common quote that has been said by millions of parents world wide, that is now an understatement. American Congress has ruled pizza as being a vegetable. Their reason why is because the tomato sauce/paste counts as a vegetable serving. Just cause there is one serving of a vegetable on a food doesn't make it a vegetable. There is cheese and bread as well.
Obviously the Congress has never eaten a slice of pizza before beacause they would realize that it is not a vegetable. Only about 31% of the tomato sauce/paste is actually tomato the rest is a bunch of chemicals and unnatural ingredients. Then there is the yeast for the bread and mozzerala cheese. Any person can tell that it is not a vegetable. I thought Congress was supposed to be looking out for the children and doing what is best for them, in this case it's not. Now studies have proven that 1 out 5 children is obese. That is a problem, and we're not doing anything to solve it by ruling pizza as a vegetable.
Well here's another cause for obesity, making pizza a vegetable. So all the fast food places selling pizza; their rates are going to sky rocket up like the next rocket to the moon. Our obesity rates might as well go up too. It's like telling children that a box of twizzlers and a can of orange soda counts as two fruit servings. Really America? Our fast food rate is already becoming out of hand, now pizza a vegetable. I thought we were trying to become a more healthier country. But in the eyes of the Congress Pizza and a box of twizzlers is healthy.
