What does everybody think of congress saying 2oz of tomato sauce makes pizza a vegetable?
Pressured?? American Frozen Food Institute spent $5 million dollars lobbying Congress!!
And according to Nix vs. Hedden, the tomato is classified as a vegetable https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nix_v._Hedden
The USDA recommended doubling the amount of tomato paste required to count as a “serving of vegetables” from two tablespoons to one quarter-cup. There’s only two tablespoons of tomato sauce on the prepackaged frozen pizzas that schools buy.
I think if more parents got involved, rather than the First Lady, and get their kids MOVING instead of using their TV’s as a babysitter we might begin to tackle childhood obesity. Kids can eat healthier sure, but remember they are kids. Kids love pizza, soda, candy etc. I did when I was little but I was also very active thankfully!!!
