It’s the new vegetable

Alluding to the ridiculous news that Congress voted to make pizza a vegetable, a neighborhood wag replied to an email post about an upcoming event from the Raleigh City Farm with this:

“I wonder if the Raleigh City Farm folks will be planting pizza.”

Glad to know Congress is being so productive.

Looking deeper, the whole “four food groups” thing has long been manipulated by farmers more concerned about food sales than nutrition. No wonder we have an obesity epidemic in America.
