A new vegetable: pizza! By Adam



This article was written by Lizz Winstead for The Guardian, on the 18th November 2011. It deals with the American Congress's vote which allows pizza to be considered as a vegetable in school dinners... Is the health of America's children in danger ?

In my opinion, American politicians voted for this law under pressure from the frozen food industry's lobby. I think this attitude is unbelievable. Law-makers put children's health in danger. In fact, it is the lobbies that make the Law in that country !
