Pizza A Vegetable? The Sad Debate

Over the last few years many believe that Congress has been on board with improving school lunches. Just this past year President Obama signed the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act followed by the announcement of new dietary guidelines earlier this fall. Until just recently there was a glimmer of hope, an idea that if enough people voiced their thoughts that these thoughts would become actions, and changes would happen but some can argue that lobbyist stepped in the way. Yesterday, November 17th, 2011 The House of Representatives passed a bill that secures frozen foods like french fries and pizza to remain an integral part of school meals. These meals are considered vegetables and an important part of a child’s diet.
