I have to imagine that this news instilled confusion in many Americans, as many Americans are: familiar with pizza; familiar with vegetables; and sane. But, according to the geniuses in Washington, pizza is a vegetable for the purposes of determining what goes into public school lunches by virtue of the fact that pizza traditionally includes a schmear of tomato paste. And if you’re wondering how it came to pass that Congress arrived at the conclusion that pizza could count as a serving of vegetables for this reason, wonder no more! Congress was guided along this path by lobbyists. And lobbyists can do all sorts of things, by magic!", "image": "https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/default-entry.jpg?ops=1200_630", "logo": "https://www.huffingtonpost.com/favicon.ico", "publisher": "HuffPost", "title": "How To Turn Pizza Into A Vegetable", "url": "https://www.huffpost.com/entry/pizza-vegetable-school-lunches-lobbyists_n_1098029", "lang": "en", "failed": true, "failedAt": 1728195042472, "failedError": "TimeoutError: Promise timed out after 10000 milliseconds", "expires": 1728364994188, "status": 200, "bodyLength": 334735, "duration": 4743 }
