The Obama administration, a while ago, declared that school lunches have to be healthier, to combat the childhood obesity epidemic. What's congresses response? On behalf of a 5 Million dollar suggestion from the American Frozen Food Institute, they declare pizza (namely, the tomato sauce found within) a serving of vegetables, and other such workarounds. :no:

It's sad how often our government can be bought.

I know, right? Is it really that hard to serve steamed vegetables at the cafeteria on a daily basis? You know, a plate with steamed carrots, broccoli and peas or something? If the tomato sauce on pizza is such a big deal, then why not just serve spaghetti with TOMATO SAUCE!

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

Yeah, they could at least put actual vegetables in there... and processed tomato doesn't count.
I saw something on the Colbert Report on this yesterday actually.

It's not the Obama administration, as this was created specifically to oppose the Obama administration's fight for a healthy lunch.

And yeah, baby carrots and grapes aren't that expensive. Know what is? Pizza. That's the point, and that's what we get when the people selling the food are the ones paying congress off. The 5 Million they payed is nothing compared to the 11 Billion a year the get off of fat kids.

To further prove this point, a lot of so-called vegetables are fruits, including but not limited to peppers, cucumbers, peas, beans, zucchini and other squashes (yes, they do put those on pizzas). True vegetables are in fact defined as the other parts of an edible plant, like the root, stalk or the leaf. So, if you want true vegetables, lettuce, spinach, carrots, radishes and celery would be considered vegetables.

Come to think of it, I don't know a lot of true vegetables that are regularly put on pizzas, excluding those taco pizzas.
