Who Knows Best
So there is a fight going on in Washington DC. Not the budget fight, we have all heard and
hopefully know about that (to be discussed later). The fight I am a talking about is over school
lunches.

The bill would block or delay all of the standards for
healthlier school lunch. The most ridiculous
thing this bill will do is to allow tomato paste on pizza to be counted as a
vegetable. USDA wants only to count half-cup of tomato paste or more as
vegetable, and a serving of pizza has less than that. Didn’t we try this some
30 years ago?
The food companies that produce frozen pizza for the school,
the potato growers and the salt industry requested the change and has been
lobbying Congress.
