No More Healthy Lunches!

Congress pushes back on school lunch nutrition guidelines, proposing to count tomato paste on pizzas as a vegetable.
Congress is fighting back on school lunch nutrition guidelines: "The bill also would allow tomato paste on pizzas to be counted as a vegetable, as it is now. USDA had wanted to only count a half-cup of tomato paste or more as a vegetable, and a serving of pizza has less than that." To some extent I understand the worries about government dictating personal choice, but we're talking about public schools. Is it any wonder that obesity is a problem if we're teaching kids that pizza is a vegetable?
