Pizza. Yes, you read correctly; congress is trying to classify pizza as a vegetable in the Obama administration's attempts to make school lunches healthier. Well rather, they say that two tablespoons of tomato paste, enough to cover a slice of pizza, should count as a serving of vegetables. I don't know about you, but this seems just a tad ridiculous, and makes me ask (not for the first time) whether our government officials really have the American public's interests at heart or their own pocketbook's.
Grist explains a bit of the history.
NPR blogs and podcasts (can that be a verb?) about the controversy.
