US Congress Rules Pizza as a Vegetable.

[Jas0n]

PIZZA IS A vegetable ? at least according to a decision made by the US Congress. Who knew?
American lawmakers have ruled that the amount of tomato paste in pizza sauce means that pizzas can be counted as a vegetable.

After some debate, Congress voted that anything containing two tablespoons of tomato sauce can be labelled a vegetable, putting pizza into the vegetable category.

Part of a pizza is a vegetable... But then it is also grain cause of the crust... and dairy cause of the cheese.... and possibly other from toppings.... so no pizza is not a vegetable. only like a third or fourth vegetable...

Can ice cream be a vegetable? I'd happily eat my veggies if that were the case.

 

[Sporge27]

no, ice cream lack any use of any vegie to my knowledge.... though I suppose if you stuck some broccoli in you ice cream it could partially count...

Yes but they've ruled anything with more than 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce to automatically be a full out vegetable. :l

So if I put some tomato sauce into some mercury, would that make it a vegetable?

Pretty much. Brb eating 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce so I can be a vegetable.

What I really don't get though is that tomato is a fruit and not a vegetable anyway

Wow, this congress is dumber than I thought.

Really it is about its nutritional content here. Biologically it is a fruit, but nutritionally it is a vegetable on the food pyramid. It is about what vitamins and minerals you get out of it, and on that it is more of a vegetable. A tomato though is the fruit of the tomato plant.

Well.....most pizza I see has more crust than tomato sauce so its a wonder why its not part of the grain category

 

[[Nook]]

Crust = Grain
Cheese = Dairy
Olives/Bell Pepper = Vegetable
Chicken/Canadian Bacon/Sausage/Pepperoni = Meat
Tomato/Pineapple = Fruit

All your necessary food groups in one, I say pizza is the healthiest food ever.
