Pizza is a Vegetable *

The classification of pizza as a vegetable by the US government sparked significant debate in nutritional policy. Aimed at addressing the obesity crisis among children and adults, the USDA proposed new school nutrition guidelines to include more fruits and vegetables. However, the definition of a vegetable was challenged, especially regarding pizza’s tomato sauce content. Congress, the Obama administration, and trade associations faced off during negotiations, highlighting the complexity of dietary regulations and the influence of industrial food giants. This situation remains controversial as health advocates seek to reform school meals.
