Despite all your efforts to help my obese cousins across the pond, I think the message has not hit home. Even Michelle [FLOTUS] Obama has campaigned for healthier school meals – but yesterday Congress voted that pizza is a vegetable! It therefore counts highly towards the nutritional content of school meals. Check out the Guardian article here and this one here.
Congress has affirmed that “Two tablespoons of tomato puree on a pizza makes that count as one half-cup serving of vegetables.”
You’ve done Essex [my county of birth] and Leicestershire [where I live now] – will you be visiting Norfolk sometime?
I heard that on yesterday's news. That is just sad.
ReplyDeleteHaha, as a dinner lady I know that spaghetti hoops is counted as a vegetable - but pickled cabbage isn't. Work that one out! :) It's a funny old world.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable!
ReplyDeleteOh, did I miss J.O. calling Martha Stewart "darlin'" again?.

What? My children will want to emigrate. Though can we struggling mothers at least concede that pizz does have redeeming features- like said possible vegetable content????
