The best news out of Washington last week is that pizza is a vegetable. The Obama administration changed the rules that allow public schools to count pizza as a vegetable when preparing school lunches. Congress overrode the regulatory change, allowing everybody to enjoy pizza guilt free.
As long as there's tomato paste on the pizza, no matter how little, then Congress says it's a vegetable.
It's the only vegetable you can have delivered right to your door in 30 minutes or less.

Sleken, I read the Kardios link to report that the Obama administration changed the EXISTING rules that allow a scant amount of pizza sauce to be counted as a vegetable to unallow it.
Congress, after intense lobbying from the frozen food industry, blocked that change. I guess both the House and Senate.
That buyout of our legislators is at least one of the things that the OCCUPY people are protesting.

You know the world has changed when it takes an act of Congress to decide what is and what is not a vegetable.
And foo, they can't even get that right.

The best part...
My liberal girlfriend has been using Ronald Reagan's 'ketchup is a vegetable' as an attack on me for 2 years.
This has taken that one completely out and made my whole year awesome.
Thank you President Obama for once again ...
Well, you know it...can't use those words..

Paul,
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but, Obama wanted to REMOVE pizza as a vegerable and the GOP Congress is blocking the removal of it as such. Congress also looks to protect french fries for the menu stating the goverment should not be controlling what children eat (even though it is taxpayer dollars funding the cafeterias for school lunches).
Looks like you're back in earshot...
(BTW, I'm not an Obama fan, Reg. Dem who voted McCain. But I do have to agree with him on this one, Tomato sauce is no vegetable. In fact, even if it were healthy, (which it isn't) tomatoes are fruits.)
