    They are turning the next generation into beanbag chairs with eyes. This ruling makes me embarrassed to be an American.

    They got it totally wrong!

    Pizza is a food group. FDA just needs to add it to the pyramid now!

    LOL :laugh:

    Yeah. They didn't say it's a vegetable, but that it counts as a serving of vegetables. I could see that as a possibility if I were making the pizza, covered in spinach, peppers, mushrooms... but definitely NOT if modern school pizzas look anything like the square flat cheese-covered highly-processed thing I remember.

    Disappointing. Michelle Obama, where are you??

    It's considered a serving of vegetables because of "the tomato paste".

    Mmmmmm... Pizza....
    If pizza is a veggie then I guess it's possibly a meat, dairy, and/or grain, too. It's all good.

    Thats just as ridiculous as when chefboyardee was promoting their canned garbage as having a full serving of vegetables in every can.

    yeah, darn skippy it's a vegetable. A vegetable with enough sodium, starch, and fat to kneel anyone over if eaten enough. This is why when my daughter goes to school, I'm packing her lunches. She's 7 months and we've already got her started with eating the correct foods.

    Just throw the crust, the cheese and the meats away and there you have it, your veggies or whatever is left of it. Looks yummie too.

    This country is so stupid. in the last week or two didnt the potato lobby get french fries listed as healthy for school lunches?

    schools should be the one place where kids can get healthy meals. they should serve no pizza, candy, soda, cake etc...

    serve kids chicken, beans, rice and vegetables.
