Pizza - A Vegetable?!?

I have a confession to make.  There are times when I eat school pizza.  Those square slices of the delicious wheat crust with just a hint of cardboard, and the latex like cheese that is just done enough to pull out of the oven... Mmmmmm... But truly, I do at times eat school food.  My class has the last lunch and by 12:30 after a morning full of rigorous lessons we are all starving.  Even the steaming, or cold, school food looks good to a food critics eye at that time of day.  

Recently school lunch has been under the microscope and the findings aren't good.
"The most important tool in modern school kitchens is apparently a box cutter — for opening the boxes the frozen stuff comes in," says Ed Bruske, a parent and food writer in Washington, D.C., who has become a school-lunch reformer.
Bruce is part of a new school lunch reform movement that began in early 2011 when President Obama signed a bill called the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act.  Leading the movement is first lady Michelle Obama who is at the forefront of the fight to stop childhood obesity.  The contested legislation contains proposals to limit French fry servings to twice a week, reducing the amount of sodium in current school lunches, ensuring that kids get five servings of vegetables a week, and introducing whole grains. Despite many who are in line to make this change, congress stands at the back.  In November 2011 Congress blocked the proposed change introduced by the Obama administration which caused many critics to attack congress implying that congress has declared "pizza is now a vegetable".  However, in the face of opposition, the USDA as well as the Obama administration is still determined to make school lunch healthier for the children of America, proposing new reforms at a rapid pace.
