US Congress: [tomato paste in] Pizza is a Vegetable

[chyyran]

Oh.. America..

Pizza is neither a fruit nor a vegetable.
Pizza is Pizza. Or at most, a kind of pastry.

This just shows how screwed up and incompetent the US government is.

Canada FTW

 

[stanleyopar2000]

fuck the government.

yes I'm talking about my own.

This is a sneaky way to get schools to serve pizza again because it's a "basic food group"


there is corruption and lobbying written all over the place

Or it could that US Congress is just a bunch of uneducated, incompetent, and grumpy old men. How did they even pass law school, or whatever post-secondary education politicians go through, let alone get elected?

I mean, Pizza a vegetable? Does it have seeds? Does it grow on plants? I don't even..

 

[BasedKiliK]

Isn't a tomato a fruit?

 

[Midna]

this just makes what they'll rule on the new censorship bill worry me even more.
also.....
>Implying a Tomato is a vegetable

Fixed the colour for you. That's the actual greentext shade.

A tomato is a fruit.

"Organic" foods not because they contain carbon but because of who grows them. (Really!)

Oh, and remember the people dying from organic cucumbers? It doesn't magically make it better food just because of who grew it and how. What makes something better is if it tastes fresh and doesn't feel like it was picked green then half frozen on the way to market. (Yeah, looking at you, Wal-mart!)

Anything that comes from the bud is a fruit, I thought? Seeds/cores are 'meat'/'nuts'?

 

[FAST6191]

As one who tends to avoid tomatoes (splattering the bowl is not my favourite activity) I have to wonder where my beloved (most of those that have to meet me for days either side are too polite) garlic pizza falls into this equation.

 

[alphamule]

It is a root and a vegetable! So says the Law! (LOL)

This thread contains the most posts I've ever "liked" at once.

Seriously, 'murrica. Stop being so fucking retarded.

I don't give a crap about the US congress but I really want to eat pizza now.

The US Congress speaks to the American people in the knowledge we can understand. In this case we preceive pizza as a vegetable due to the amount of tomato paste that the product contains.

So.....has anyone asked why yet? To give pizzas to kids? Um.....so? It'll be substitute everything and taste like arse anyway, just like all school food does/did still does(?).

 

[DarkCrudus]

tomato paste on frozen pizza qualified it as a vegetable.

I was under the impression that all tomato's were vegetables whether it be paste or full tomato

nix vs hedden 1893
also

Tomatoes are "vegetables," and not "fruit," within the meaning of the Tariff Act of March 3, 1883, c. 121.

 

[alphamule]

And thus the source of all this nonsense between tomatos being fruit or vegetable or a baked good or whatever.
