According to the daily mail and various other sources, The American congress is now claiming that PIZZA is now a vegetable.

Why?

Because apparently the thin coat of tomato counts as a vegetable and therefore counting the pizza as a vegetable despite it lacking significant nutrient content. The move has been derided as a cost-cutting drive so the U.S. government will not have to spend so much on fresh food for school lunches. School meals must include a certain amount of vegetables.

The group called "Mission" who had advertised and promoted for schools to eat healthy had this to say:

'We are outraged that Congress is seriously considering language that would effectively categorize pizza as a vegetable in the school lunch program,' Amy Dawson Taggart, the director of the group, said in a letter to members of Congress before the final plan was released.

My View:
To be honest, i think this is another law by the American congress which seems to have been though up of a 12 year old. I would to because i love pizza but really, dont they have bigger issues to address? i.e. the massive debt they are in? Making pizza a vegetable isn't going to save them that much at all
