Pizza is now a vegetable?

[Reselia]

Recently, for reasons unknown to the rest of the world, the US has declared pizza a vegetable . Therefore, I want to hold a debate on whether you are FOR or AGAINST it.

FOR:




AGAINST:




Three to each side. I'll take against.

Clearly an attempt to cheat their way out of health standards, I suppose cake will be made a type of bread next.

Pizza is a vegetable, realy? Sure it's made of vegetables, but its not one.

Funny though:P

Isn't it... isn't it frightening?

Pizza shouldn't be considered a vegetable. Although, Congress did not pass any law to designate it as such.

What happened was that tomato paste and puree was already considered a vegetable! Has been for a long time, because, you know, tomatoes are nutritious and good for you. The limit was (and still is) 1/8 of a cup of tomato paste or puree was (and is) a single serving of vegetables. There was a bill in place to increase that to half a cup (i.e 4x that) which was vetoed by Congress. Which isn't even that bad considering tomato paste or puree is pretty darn concentrated, and 1/8th of a cup gives you similar benefits to an entire half a cup of tomatoes (some nutrition is lost in the cooking process, of course).

So there, this is the facts. Source is Here [PDF]

I thought pizza was one of the categories on the food pyramid that we were supposed to get 27 servings of each day?

I love the monkey, and I swear I didn't touch the monkey brain I was offered in Greece 20 years ago

I don't care if pizza is a vegetable, meat, or fruit. IT TASTES GOOD ANYWAYS!!!

[Aersoldorf]

All hail the mighty pizza

Which begs the question, are any of you old enough to remember Godfather's Pizza? They went bankrupt about 20 years ago, but when they were still in business you couldn't beat their pies. A large deep dish weighed about 10 or 12 lbs and was almost 3 1/2 inches thick.
