The eternal question: Pizza - fatty junkfood or vegetable?

[n00b1n8R]

US Congress rules that pizza is a vegetable
American lawmakers have ruled that the amount of tomato paste in pizza sauce means that pizzas can be counted as a vegetable.

How is it that a government can be so blatantly manipulated by a small group of people???

[TVTyrant]

Sweet. Thi is what makes Ameerica great not really...

Can't think of anything more American than this.

[n00b1n8R]

Does this mean they can serve meat lovers pizzas as vegetarian? And since when are tomatoes a vegetable??

And what about pizzas that use BBQ sauce instead of tomato??

Man, I'm glad they finally straightened this out. There are a lot of pressing issues facing this country, but this one was at the top of the list. Thanks, Congress.

[jcap]

And yet the most ironic part is that tomatoes aren't vegetables.

[ejburke]

I'm surprised it wasn't already classified as a vegetable.

I'm fine with this actually. Schools often fill their vegetable requirement with tater tots and french fries. Pizza is a step up nutritionally (not saying much). But it was already so ubiquitous in lunch programs; it's hard to imagine MORE pizza being served.

I'm sure Jamie Oliver is just beside himself right now.

If I'm not mistaken, french fries are still on the menu. French fries and pizza and milk for everyone!

So about this child obesity problem. It obviously must be McDonald's fault :maddowns:!

How's that anti-obesity pill coming? (http://www.thirdage.com/news/weight-loss-drug-passes-monkey-trial_11-15-2011)

[Kornman00]

It may not be as simple as that but it's pretty simple for companies to lobby Congress to continue to sit on their ass and continue to allow the same shit happen on a different day. One of these things has to change. Because then the other will should too :trollface:

What's that? Preaching to the choir? Oh sry

e: also, so what if kids get butt hurt from healthier lunches? Tough cookies. Or I guess in their case, no cookies :trollface:

I was trying to come up with coercion techniques to use on the little shits, but everything I typed reminded me of the Penn State scandal. 'Oh, you won't eat that cucumber? Well guess what!'

As the fattest person on this forum, I feel I have to speak up.

Pizza as a vegetable just makes my life simpler. For years I have had to fill out my food pyramid the hard way while having no natural metabolism of any kind. Now its easy and cheaper. Thanks America.

I'm gonna go lift some weights.

Pizza as a vegetable just makes my life complicated. For years I have had to fill out my (inverted) food pyramid the hard way while having a metabolism equivalent to that of a supermassive black hole. Now its harder trying to compensate. Ffffff America.
(Hell, my BMI is 14.7, and I eat normally)

I'm gonna go eat half a tub of ice cream.

Lol that makes our government look almost not nearly as bad kinda.

Good to know that stupidity and arrogance isn't just an American disease.

You did it Tyrant, you did it. :P Just kidding.

Finally, a bill passed that bill that genuinely helps the people of the world!

[Sanctus]

Good God, at which point during this century did everyone in the developed world take the stupid pill? Sometimes I feel like the human race would advance more quickly if I WAS THE ONLY ONE ON EARTH. With the exception of the lovely people here on Modacity. And my girlfriend. She reigns in my sometimes reckless creativity.

It's decided: Modacity should become the New World Government.

Yeah we'll have to pass some bills on how to do that properly I think.

[Kornman00]

Well, it's not like she ate a whole lot of it. That guy chopped them up pretty good and put them all over her side of the pie. Assuming it wasn't staged, I'm surprised she didn't smell it.

[ejburke]

I think chopping them up makes it worse. And the reason you're supposed to use gloves is because washing your hands doesn't do shit.

[Kornman00]

And she fucking leaned over and coughed on the pizza...good thing he didn't grind up that pepper into grains, or else she may have created a painful dust storm.

[=sw=warlord]

Just think, if it's that painful on the tongue...that dust going up your nose as you breathe in...

[DarkHalo003]

He said she loves spicy food. I call bullshit, otherwise she wouldn't be crying about that pepper.

[Syuusuke]

wait wait what, I thought all Congress did was rule that a certain amount of tomato sauce is considered a vegetable? are news articles everywhere just adding more stuff on the dough or did congress actually mention pizza?

Pretty sure they mentioned Pizza as an example (they were certainly lobbied by the frozen pizza industry). At any rate, pizza qualfies for those 2 tablespoons of sauce (not per mass or volume or anything, just 2 total).

[=sw=warlord]

It's the hottest pepper in the world.
she also didn't expect said pepper.
