WTF!! Pizza is now considered a vegetable?!! What a bunch of morons! First of all tomatoes are fruits (seeds on the inside). Second of all, pizza has almost no nutritional value. The goverment is pretty $%&*d up!
Voice your opinions please!

(From Fox News, which last I checked isn't "left wing liberal" and doesn't "favor a biast". The ones pushing this legislation are the only ones being "mean" here.)0 -
This has nothing to do on who is in power or what political party you're from.
Bottom line pizza isn't a healthy choice of food and it is filled with empty calories. Just because a part of it has vegetable (tomato still classified as a vegetable, idiots) doesn't make it all vegetable.0 -

I believe the article said they are counting the tomato sauce on the pizza as a vegetable NOT the pizza.
To be honest - I don't see a problem with serving pizza in a school lunch. We had pizza for hot lunch when I was in school. It's not just the food that kid's are eating, but sitting on their duffs playing video games and not getting outside with others a moving that is causing some of the weight problems.0 -

The tomato sauce on school lunch pizza has been considered a vegetable serving for some time. The USDA wanted to require that there be at least .5 cups of tomato sauce to be considered a vegetable for school lunches and the Senate wants to block that recommdation and continue allowing any amount, no matter how small, to meet the requirements. There is no recommendation about pizza itself being a vegetable.
Pizza can certainly have nutritional value if you make it with the right ingredients, which is pretty much the USDA's point in the proposal. Serve pizza, but make it better.0 -

Man I always thought I was eating bread topped with cheese. And the sauce content makes it a whole vegetable eh?? Where do they get their pizza cuz half the time I can't even find the sauce on those dried out slices. Veggie time...Cool! Very cool hahaha!0

As a teacher I see horrid lunches everyday...some kids eat them some don't...but they make up the "guidelines" handed from government. Thats not the problem though. Its the parents who let their kids eat McDs for dinner and not make them play or exercise!!! TV, video games, computers, etc cause kids to not be active!0

The whole problem comes down to lobbyists from certain food industries arguing to prevent healthier school lunches. If food standards in school lunches got healthier, then those companies would lose business.
I'm all for making kid's lunches better in schools. But as a parent of one in public school, and one in preschool, we find its much better to bypass this entirely and just make the lunches ourselves (ok. its actually my wife who makes them). This way we know exactly what they are getting.0 -

I know! I'm one of those that admit that I love junk food! And pizza, ah............ I would marry it! I even let my kids eat it! :-) I have found a way to make a low cal pizza to fix my craving. So I'm okay0 -
If our governors (WA state) didn't feel the need to cut back and cut out school programs we'd have more healthy options. It's really up to the parents to speak out and speak up. Nobody wants to get their hands dirty.0
