Congress Calls Pizza a Vegetable
Aux US: 1 part de pizza -> 2 petites cuillères de sauce tomate -> 1 portion de légumes!
En fait, ce sont des grosses entreprises type “L’institut Américain des Produits Congelés” qui font pression (= moult dollars) au niveau du Parlement Américain pour faire passer ce genre de loi. Tout les moyens sont bons pour continuer à vendre leur produits pas du tout healthy aux jeunes consommateurs, et à les rendre un peu addict au passage..
Les USA, le pays ou tout est possible, le meilleur.. comme le pire!
I love pizza but this is crazy, lets at least educate kids about the healthy choices not deceive them. - Aliyah, Neon Tommy
Congress’ new spending bill would deny funding to healthier school lunches and effectively declare pizza a vegetable.
The bill works against standards set earlier this year by the USDA; standards that would fill students’ plates with more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and decrease their intake of sodium and saturated fat, reports CNN. Under Congress’ new standards, two tablespoons of tomato paste would qualify as a serving of vegetables.
Two of the bill’s biggest supporters are the American Frozen Food Institute and the National Potato Council. According to ABC, the two groups spent a combined $440,000 on lobbying efforts. It’s no coincidence, then, that frozen pizza and French fries are two foods the bill is fighting to keep on the table.
In a nation whose second leading cause of preventable death is obesity, the bill raises major health concerns.
