How Pizza Became A Vegetable Through The Magic Of Influence-Peddling

"...to provide specifics that will in no way dispel your lingering thoughts that we are governed by morons but at least allow you some anthropological insight into how a group of morons who have been given permission to sit in a fancy room in Washington, D.C., and grunt at each other actually think, here is their thinking: Pizza is a vegetable for the purposes of determining what goes into public school lunches by virtue of the fact that pizza traditionally includes a schmear of tomato paste. (Botanically speaking, tomatoes are actually fruit, but we're going to have to just let that slide)"

Anyone recall when ketchup was considered a vegetable in the context of school lunch? That was under Reagan's watch 30 yrs ago. It appears we've not gotten any smarter in this time.
