Pizza and French Fries are Vegetables???

Did you know that in 2011 Congress has declared that pizza and french fries are vegetables?


Some of you may be dancing around in joy, while others may be wondering whether the officials who make our laws have gone crazy.

Well the logic seems to be, since pizza has tomato paste and occasionally veggies on it, Congress declared the food as a vegetable. They claim that the tomato paste actually accounts for one whole serving of vegetables. And since french fries are made from potato, it qualifies as a serving of vegetable as well!

On the surface it may make sense, but look closely at those crispy, golden fries or the delicious pizza crust. You may not realize it - but they are loaded with salt, sugar, fat, chemicals, artificial flavors and flavor enhancers that make you want to eat more.

Calling these foods vegetables has serious implications. Schools can now serve them as a 'healthy' meal. Now these foods are fast becoming an American staple diet. Think about it - Are we putting our health in grave danger by continuously exposing it to unnecessary additives?

When we know something is wrong, we need to take action. Join the fight to make Congress rethink their decision of making pizza and french fries vegetables. Be the up-stander and don't let pizza and french fries bully fresh foods and our body.
