The other reports I have read indicated that it was the tomato sauce that is being counted as a vegetable serving, not the actual pizza itself. Still...

Jamie Oliver battled their stupidity - and lost.

When he attempted to serve a healthy rice-based meal in a school, they declared it to be unhealthy due to "insufficient vegetables". They insisted that the rice be removed - and replaced with fries.

Facepalm doesn't cover it...

You'd find people in NZ who believe that too. Just not in the same numbers.

In the movie Idiocracy (now there's an idea for a movie, America being run by idiots, where ever do they come up with this stuff?) a company bought the FDA and changed the food pyramid to it's own ends.
I laughed at the absurdity - then realised that the joke was on me.

Still, we get what we deserve.
Election anyone?

Idiocracy is a pretty darn enjoyable movie. On the surface it looks slapstick but it's got plenty of amusing social commentary like what you just mentioned. I like how everyone keeps going on about how good electrolytes are but no-one actually knows what they are.
