They have affirmed that pizza is a vegetable. Yes, the tomato sauce on pizza is enough for American politicians to define it and allow it to be served as a vegetable in school lunch programs across the US.

So our local chippy which serves pizza crunch (pizza dipped in batter and then deep fried) is actually looking after the health of our children.

Tastes excellent. It also stops you worrying about your cholesterol level being too low ..... or your lifespan too long

Oh, and if you think Subway is more healthy, it is until you start adding the sauces they try and get you to have.
They'll be classifying Beef as a vegetable next.

Course it's not a vegetable, it's a sauce. Are some Congressmen vegetables, I say yes.

If they were correct then they could have designated a Ham and Pineapple pizza as a Fruit salad
