I wonder where it fits on the food pyramid now?

I guess I could say I have had my veggies today.

I guess this good news? No idea what its supposed to mean but I doubt they'll be getting any cheaper. Pizza is my favorite food, always has been ever since I was a kid.

is this true

Yes it is.

The food industry has paid off congress to legally declare pizza a vegetable so they can sell it to kids freely.

But Tomatos are FRUIT not vegatable!

America y u fail so hard?

That's the first time I've ever heard someone call tomatos a fruit. Fruits are sweet, tomatos aren't sweet.

Tomatos are fruit. Not Vegtabale I have never in my life time except for now heard them being called anything but fruit.

^ That's because you live in Scotland, where men wear skirts. Tomatos being classified as a fruit is just another example of how backwards ya'll are. =P

You guys classing pizza as vegtables just shows all dumb you all are. :P

Botanically, a tomato is a fruit, yes. And because of some lolcapitalism it was classified as a veggie. I tell the whole side of the story though when I talk about this issue; as opposed to just haphazardly saying everybody in the nation is at fault (read: carrotcake).

Likewise this issue is just a way for government to avoid a lot of the attacks on the meal choices of school food.

I blame Jaime Oliver's unsuccessful attempt at changing the American diet with his radical methodology.

I wonder if pizza shops will get tax breaks for being healthy now.

Its just ridiculous when they change something that has been established as fact just so they can bend the rules to suit them.
Funny this came up as i am going out for a meal today and was thinking of pizza express.

is there a point to this
