Michelle Obama is going to find those lobbyists and break some kneecaps over this one. :lol:
Why does this sound like a Sarah Palin/Bachman-backed idea? :lol:

Actually, i can see college kids all over this country yelling WOOHOO and using this as an excuse to order pizza every day.
"Think i'll have pizza again. I'm on a diet after all."
:lol:
When I read the title at first I actually thought "This sounds like the kind of argument you'd hear from an elementary school kid."
College kids? Psssh... they eat Pizza by the mack truck full as it is. No, what this means is little kids will now eat Pizza by the house-full, because "It'll be part of a balanced diet" :lol:
Seriously, though... Pizza contains more dairy products than tomato sauce. You got the crust and the cheese that makes up more than 90% of any given pizza. xD
Let's not forget there is a big difference between going to Dominoes or Geppettos for a real pizza and eating one of those shitty frozen pizzas with cardboard crust, watery sauce, and fake cheeze that you heat up in the microwave.
You know who else is going to be pissed off over this? The army. Their recruiters are already having enough trouble making quota due to high obesity rates.
Even those shitty frozen pizzas have far more crust and cheese than tomato sauce. I should know; I used to eat those things by the bundle. :lol:
As for the Army, ehhh, we need to stop sending people to die anyway, so I wouldn't much be against them not filling their quotas. :clap:
(I don't mean to hog the topic but i'm on a roll here)
Hey! Hey congress! If i pour a glass of orange juice over my Kentucky Fried Chicken can i count that as a serving of fruit?
Hey congress! If i chop up a carrot and put some of the bits in my bottle of vodka can i count that as drinking a V8 instead of alcohol?
Hey congress! If i roll some cigarettes with lettuce instead of paper can we count those as vegetables?
:lol:
Why was the decision to call pizza a vegetable even needed?
Also, I think in France a potato is a vegetable, so I suppose just steak + French fries is healthy there.

Well... it's close. I won't have any complaints at least. :p
And what about white pizza? You know, the SAUCELESS kind of pizza? Without any veggie toppings?
Congress, explain how THAT would qualify as a vegetable! Good luck with that!
