Pizza is s*** without tomato sauce, so I can support this. Well done, Congress.

How exactly would they be out of shape assuming that Engrish_Major's and my plan both called for the same physical fitness as yours? More over with your whole, prone to illness part, the nutrients and vitamins provided in healthy food would actually help boost your immune system's strength.

[QUOTE="Engrish_Major"] I've been talking about it for a few posts. And the studies that I posted (which everyone seems to want to ignore) state a direct causation between diabetes and diet. As well as every article I've ever read about the subject. Really? This is what this is coming down to? Diet does not cause diabetes and being overweight?Jandurin

diet is A factor not THE factor. diabetes is caused by a combination of genetics and unspent energy that is converted from sugars in the blood to fat that requires insulin SP? over time a disorder forms where the body creates too much/not enough of the stuff. way over simplifying it. your arguing the kids are getting too much to eat and we need to replace the calorically heavy pizza and fries with lighter more expensive foods, i am arguing the foods are fine but the kids need to burn off the food they eat. both methods would bring down obesity but ime would make the kids healthier and it does not cost a red cent. yours costs money and still the kids would be out of shape and prone to illnesses.

you know i am all for ending all subsidies, so once that happens we can let schools buy what is best for them, but till then i gotta say i am against making them buy high end food at my expense.

[QUOTE="Planet_Pluto"]

[QUOTE="Engrish_Major"] That's actually what a few people here are trying to argue. I didn't even know that was a thing. surrealnumber5

Why does pizza not have its own food group?

[QUOTE="Planet_Pluto"]I don't think anyone is saying that good nutrition has a liberal bias. I think it's more along the lines of "who's responsiblity is it for good nutrition?" I think.... I could be wrong though as there are multiple 'conversations' going on at once here.

Every time I read anything on American politics or even read up at all on the politicians I can't stop and help to think there must be masss of corruption going on in the background. I mean huge corporations seem to have huge sway in US politics.

However the US and Berlusconi (Who will be sadly missed) helped me realise despite all being mongs in parliment we could do abit worse than some British politicians.

The real absurdity here is the federal govt having ANYTHING to do with what food we serve our kids here in the district where I live.

I am at a complete loss to understand why the lunch menu at the schools in my town are a federal matter.

I guess that depends on your definition of subsidize. The federal govt confiscates taxes from the people of my state, then ransoms SOME of it back to us for education, among other things, as long as we do as they tell us.

This has not always been the case. Back when I was a lad, schooling was very much a local function. The federal dept of education was not a cabinet level department. It was a resource center for states and local school disricts. It conducted studies on curriculum, building and classroom design, etc etc and made that data available to whomever wanted it.

Funny coincidence that as the federal govt's role in education has expanded, the quality of education has decreased. But I'm sure its just a coincidence.

No but by combining pizza and dairy you create a cow. Did that on pokemon last night.

Actually, its a fruit. Tomatoes, fruit. Tomato paste, mashed fruit. Therefor, pizza is a fruit, though a considerably unheathy fruit if we are talking about school lunch pizzas.

Fruit+grain+dairy product=vegetable

Seems legit.
