Call Schwan Food Co at (800) 533-5290 and ask to speak to their CEO, Greg Flack, about his company's use of highly-paid lobbyists to buy the vote of Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn) in order to keep pizza classified as a vegetable.
Tell him you won't buy his products again until his company stops corrupting our political system.

Congress wont look after your life. it's not their job to be your parents. people who are worried about health shouldn't turn to congress to provide for them. If the American general public cant handle this decision, it is simply too lazy to take care of themselves. O no, now you'll have to excercise, maybe cook some food once in a while. Get over it. I don't support this, but what are you gonna do? Keel over and get fat?

SO WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM a society where:
"According to a 2001 Gallup poll,[178] about 45% of Americans believe that 'God created human beings pretty much in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years or so.'" (wiki)
America is a Democracy! There are lots of really, really good things about a Democracy. And there area a few downsides. One of them is that sometimes really dumb things--that can cost untold number of lives and untold amounts of money--happen.
Congress was voted in democratically, so, representing their constituents, they believe that pizza is a vegetable (What d'ya think it was? Meat?).
Congress believing that pizza is a vegetable is just democracy in action.

Dom , it could aslo be a veggie pizza with sauce .
Susan , voters don't want to pay anymore taxes because what we pay now is pissed away partially on a Dept. of Education which you seemed to have left out having anything to do with veggie pizzas . All the DOE wants is more money , more bennies , less accountability and to push a political agenda down our kids throat , parents be damned .

IN OTHER NEWS...
Obama plans to invade Australia with up to 2500 Marines.
And the OWS goofuses continue to reflect accurately but badly on all the lefty dem libprogs -- like the USN&WR dem shill blogging firm of B,S&M -- who all were hoping against hope OWS would be a political movement that would rival the Tea Party.
Oh yeah, about the pizza. Taking a cue from Liz Mega Genius Warren, the dough, the cheese, the pepperoni? That's the necessary INFRASTRUCTURE for the tomato sauce.
You can't have tomato sauce without the pizza INFRASTRUCTURE.
Why does dem shill Susan Milligan have such a problem with INFRASTRUCTURE???
Of course if there were green pepper slices instead of pepperoni in addition to the tomato sauce, well damn, now self-appointed food police Comish Susan Milligan would have to find something else to kvetch over republicans.
