This is what you get when you have bureaucrats deciding what a "healthy" meal is ...

Someone who actually had a clue what they were doing would have taken kids 10 (or 20) favorite foods and modified them so that they were healthier. It is far easier to get a kid to eat a healthy pizza or taco than it is to get them to eat hummus or bean salad.

That's a fair point.

Some people in this thread want to entrust decisions on healthy eating to the people who declared pizza a vegetable.

You mean Republican congressmen who passed legistlation under the influence of the food industry?

There is no way a pizza is a vegetable, what morons!
