Pizza a vegetable, says US Government

EAT YOUR GREENS: A serving of pizza only needs two tablespoons of tomato paste to qualify as a vegetable under US nutritional guidelines.


The US House of Representatives dealt a blow to childhood obesity warriors on Thursday (Friday NZT) by passing a bill that abandons proposals that threatened to end the reign of pizza and French fries on federally funded school lunch menus.
The scuttled changes, which would have stripped pizza's status as a vegetable and limited how often French fries could be served, stemmed from a 2010 child nutrition law calling on schools to improve the nutritional quality of lunches served to almost 32 million US school children.
The action is a win for the makers of frozen French fries and pizza and comes just weeks after the deep-pocketed food, beverage and restaurant industries successfully weakened government proposals for voluntary food marketing guidelines to children.
