Well, of course it isn’t.  But some prople accross the pond seem to think it is.

According to the Daily Mail today a School Lunches Bill is going before congress to try and reclassify the humble pizza as vegetable (even though its actually a fruit, but thats by the by!)  thanks to the tomato paste on the base.

Even though the tomato paste used is hardly packed with nutrition it seems as though it might be enough to get it through!!

Madness I say.  It’s all in aid of cost cutting too.

The move has been derided as a cost-cutting drive so the U.S. government will not have to spend so much on fresh food for school lunches. Subsidised  school meals must include a certain amount of vegetables.

Nutrition advocate Margo Wootan of the Center for Science in the Public Interest said Congress’s proposed changes will keep schools from serving a wider array of vegetables.

Children already get enough pizza and potatoes, she says.

It would also slow efforts to make pizzas — a longtime standby on school lunch lines — healthier, with whole grain crusts and lower levels of sodium.

‘They are making sure that two of the biggest problems in the school lunch program, pizza and french fries, are untouched,’ she said.

I think we will hold off from adding pizzas to the game just yet!
