^^ Here's an article from MSNBC. It happened back in November. Congress voted to keep pizza and french fries on school lunch menus because they're "vegetables".

The sense behind it is that members of congress receive a lot of money from the companies who provide the pizzas and french fries.

They categorized tomato paste as a vegetable, not pizza. Headlines can deceive. I suggest reading the article.

I've heard some people put salad ON their pizza, that makes it healthy.

A cheese & garlic pizza (sand sauce) with chicken caesar salad on top is divine.

Ew! Who eats chips with pizza?!

Perverts, that's who.

I like pizza, Steve.

Remember, just because the government SAYS pizza is a vegetable does not mean it is! :P

Our government never lies.

Tomatoes are a fruit, but when you turn them to paste they become a vegetable . . . interesting.

My pizza last night had green peppers, onions, mushroom and pizza sauce. Probably enough to count as one full serving of vegetables.

That's what I'm talking about!!!

Tomatoes are biologically a fruit, yes. However, they have been legally categorized as a vegetable since 1893.

Yes, but you can say it again.

Ah, yes, the pressure of Big Business. But I really don't think the cardboard cutout pizza they sell at school counts. Now, a veggie lovers pizza from Pizza Hut. /That's/ a vegetable. ;}

Cardboard cutout pizza was the best tho! I'd have to say I miss most of the school lunches, although I complained a lot back then! Also probably a BIG reason why I'm such a BIG girl:(

Well apparently I failed you all in the fun and games section... I thought this meal looked very American hence the title of the thread. Chips from another country? That explains why I've never heard of them. Thank you for clearing that up.

Yes, I know they classified tomato paste as a veggie - so they're keeping the pizzas around because they're a source of vegetables.
