In the meantime, our Congress has decided, with the "assistance" of the frozen pizza and potato grower lobbies, that tomato paste is a vegetable and french fries are healthy. So our school kids can continue to survive on pizza and french fries for school lunches. Does it take a degree in home economics to know that this legislation is simply ridiculous...and unhealthy!

This is a prime example of how congressional politicians insist on micromanaging even the minutest details of citizens' everyday lives....
As if a local school board, or administration that hires the cafeteria managers and cooks are not capable of knowing what foods offered would work/sell best.
State-controlled school lunch programs illustrate the expansive power base the Statists insist on having and keeping.
