Out Of Control Congress Deems Pizza A Vegetable !

[stasisnu18]

kids are fat, its the PARENTS! fucking parents dont watch what their kids eat and then say its congress fault, fucking lazy parents

[ramusling]

This is the "representation" you get from your "representatives" for voting for them without promissing them some "kickbacks". The lobby will push it as long as something real bad happends to them. Why dont we call the lobbyists their real names "bribers" ??

[radiodj1520]

I Believe This Was A Video Clip Of NBC News' NBC Nightly News With Brian Williams' Report On Out Of Control Congress Deems Pizza A Vegetable! On Thursday Evening, November 17, 2011.

[honeycomb97]

So, if I put tomato paste on a piece of cardboard...it becomes a vegetable?

[Shaloth]

LOL MCDONNALS ADDED FRUIT TO ITS HAPPY MEAL? BUT WHATS IN THE MEAL? CHICKEN NUGGETS? ENJOY YOUR FAT KID PARENTS.

[primitiveheadbanger]

Is this really an issue? If they serve pizza once a week that is 40 slices of pizza a year. Every other week would be 20 slices a year. I don't care what the govt calls it. They just need to quit following my life around. Why are they doing this, anyone here ask the govt to classify their food for them? With all the problems in the usa they took time out to do this? Giving kids food raised in America vs. over seas is a more important issue to me, but self reliance isn't encouraged in the usa.

[right2left2]

Pierce Brosnan?

[PachirisuTV]

Tomatoes Are Fruits DUMBASSES Lol Not The Person who posted the vid, whoever said pizza was a vegitable because it had 2 tablespoons of a fruit( Tomatoe) Paste On It

[EpicTimeTraveler]

TOMATOE BE FRUITZ

[cheezemofo]

pizza = vegetable ,

then that means that:

hamburgers = fruit ,

now i see the logic! ; )

[besman007]

They are doing this so later on when the kids grow up and have high cholesterol and related serious symptoms, the pharmaseutical companies stay in business as planned and as usual to sell people high cholesterol medication and the person falls in their traps..

[Whalelaydee]

I don't get this, they try to end child obesity, then the try to promote child obesity? Seriously?

[edwardd6681]

@Whalelaydee no more unhealthy more money for healthcare usa is a big faggot scam

[ploy3snoy]

Well in that case, vegetables are generally speaking good for you. Except pizza stay away from that "vegetable" on any cost.

[ploy3snoy]

Isn't it pretty obvious that the government is depopulating??

[ploy3snoy]

Out of control?

I don't think so, someone is being bad knowingly, people aren't this stupid.

Wake up and start investigating conspiracy theories.

[KablamClipz]

Hey, now I can eat healthy!!

[dgurevich1]

This isn't surprising really...

they are just working hart to make their economy system survive.

There are too much people, and not enough supplies to meet their needs, so by economist's logic, if there is too much of one thing, its value goes down. So by being sensitive, we artificially inflate the value of a human life.

If you can understand british, watch David mitchell explain it:

[XsweetstarliteX]

Most western citizens can see this facade of government, its a real threat but from the people that govern us. I have yet to be attacked from a foreign power, I am however, attacked everyday by those that govern, they fuck up our water, food, violate our freedoms attack us physically and mentally with their consumerist bullshit and propaganda. Once a government has the nerve, the sheer audacity to make PIZZA a vegetable going against all science, logic and nature, it's time for a serious change.

[refat17]

As long as you put 2 spoons of tomatoe paste on something it's a vegetable which would mean pasta is a vegetable, and if a ate 2 spoons of tomato paste i am considered vegetable, ANYTHING CAN BE A VEGETABLE. Ya congress is stupid, at least obama is against the idea

[Giverney13]

Proves how deep the incompetence is...with obesity at all time highs and the govt pushing corn,peanuts,plastic w/all the fattening ingredients-like HFCS and they wonder why so many are suffering in their health...because CONgress is holding the hand of the cWHOREporations.They are scratching each others backs,profitting even if they are pushing death &disease.All of them on the hill are millionaires or billionaires-most after coming to office. SERVANTS of the people??? or lords/'gods'/royalty?

[Iwuzhere321]

Tomatoes = Fruit

Pizza = Vegetable because of the Tomatoes....

...

...

...

Oh Congress, your trolling us all, aren't you?

[Eddyisrich403]

FUCKING GOVERNMENT!

[Anim8t3rz]

Tomatoes are fruit...tomato paste is fruit....

[ddnguyen278]

Common sense? F@ck that, there's money to be made, your gonna eat your 4 servings of vegetables a day, and by vegetables i mean GMO pizza and fried chicken.. someones gotta eat that stuff might as well be your kids.

[KoRnhead12]

:36 whoever that guy is he's the only person with a brain in the us congress

[Magika1955]

Whichever way you slice it (intended) it is neither logical, reasonable or ethical as best I can figure. The crunch comes when the American people have to vote for the congress people who backed this vote at the expense of their children. Whether or not the parents should be ensuring their children eat right Congress is paid by the people for the people...or have I missed something?

[RichyBMelodies]

Only in America.

[jbeatles99]

ZYM class is barely any exercise now pizza is a vegatable? Our government only cares for the wealthy. The super super wealthy profits from this and all the inflation.

[matrix86]

A pizza cannot be a vegetable because:

A.) tomatoes are a fruit.

B.) Pizza is not a single food item, it is a multifood item (contains bread, dairy, herbs, spices, meat, vegetables) thus it cannot be deemed as a single entity.

Come on congress...i'm a college dropout and even I know this common sense stuff.

[waffleego2]

@SummerMomma23 I always thought vegetables and fruits have seeds.

[ProstituteCorpse]

Too bad that tomato is a fruit and not a vegetable.

[cohim2]

what are you people...stupid or something?

[chaotic719playa]

Think I just heard thousands of bunk-beds breaking! =O I teach my son what's good for him and he does eat his "VEGGIES"

[shibbyfoo929]

...And then we'll ask a bunch of random people their opinions in case the people watching don't have any friends and they really want to know if a random person has an opinion about pizza being a vegetable!

[MrLearntoread]

Where is Jamie Oliver when you need him?

[SunnySide247]

.

Man!

.

I have been on a straight Pizza Vegetable diet for 2 weeks and I haven't lost any weight and I feel really sick.

.

Vegetables must be really bad for you, I'm going back to cheeseburgers.

.

[VikingAxStudios]

Are you retarded?

[VikingAxStudios]

@VikingAxStudios Oh I'm sorry. Asking that is an insult to retarded people.

[saifwahid]

Intresting

[twistedbass15]

America is retarded :-D

[liftedJ33P]

Y U VEGETABLE?

[Thecoolbeans92]

This is why I have little faith that we are going to survive as a species...

[AcomsRazor1776]

@Thecoolbeans92 no, no, no! this is just how natural selection works. The week and otherwise absolutely Moronic will be slated to destroy themselves while the strong and intelligent will survive. Fortunately this will actually clean out the gene pool. unfortunately we are going to lose nearly 6 billion people.

[waffleego2]

@AcomsRazor1776 STOP APPLYING NATURAL SELECTION TO EVERYTHING YOU FUCKING PHAGGET, WHAT'S NEXT TECHONOLOGY ?HDFIUAHDSIUFNHDASHYUFBADSHFIU­AHSFUHASIUFHAIUDSHFIHADSF

[ejpetersondub]

As bad as this is, the EU has us beat on the stupidity scale. Apparently, in Europe, water no longer hydrates!!

[Ultima121]

@ejpetersondub Where in Europe would that be?

[SodaAdiction]

Congress says Pizza is a vegetable,

America, I am disappoint

[pkp1023]

I hate american congress..... America is to stubborn...

[rorys135]

where can i get me some pizza plants?

[JephyrX]

Could there be any other neccessary proof that congress iscompletely corrupt? I guess based on this logic Pinapple upside down cake is a fruit, and carrot cake is a vegetable. BTW tomatoes are technically a fruit.

[nmar00]

lol tomato is a fruit not even close to being a vegetable. pizza is a fruit :)

[lukiducki]

so first, what the hell is wrong with the american government bending their asses to the companies, and then most importanly, a tomato is not a fucking vegetable, its a FRUIT. so if your congress is making shit decissions based on bribery, then it should do it at least right. the whole world laughs at their stupidity.

[UberVersatile]

I thought they made Pizzasauce a veggie. But the whole Pizza?Are the fucking insane?

[Akkanb18c]

this is why americans r fat

[1978atcarroll]

@Akkanb18c No, Americans are fat because most people still eat like our great-grandparents did. but most people seem to forget that our great-grandparents worked 16 hours a day on the farm or 12 to 16 hours a day in the factory, not 8 hours a day sitting behind a desk.

[Akkanb18c]

@1978atcarroll i agree with u 100%

[Iggyocracy]

Don't worry, Wheat, Rice, Cotton, Bugs, Wood, Metal, Coal & Oil are still safe from the Codex Alimentarius toxicology GMO patenting crapola of detrimentola that's coming out of our assholas.

[ThePelvi]

Wow...Really? This is the sort of thing that makes me so happy that I live in Australia. xD

[RedSandStudios]

@ThePelvi Cherish it... you'd better fucking cherish it.

[CamillaCalamity]

Tomato sauce isn't a vegetable, it's a condiment, so pizza doesn't even come close. Fuckers.

[ATL45]

1:20 - "This is their primary source of nutrients through the day."

As usual, parents not doing their job, and demanding government do it for them.

And, as usual, Congress sides with whoever writes them the fattest check.

New motto: everyone sucks.

[TonPappa]

@ATL45 Some parents like my mom when I was in highschool couldn't afford a school lunch and I was prity much had to eat what the school gave me.

[KJlost]

Just as a side note, obesity is costing the US $270 billion per year in terms of health bills and loss and productivity. It is one of the few uncontrollably growing health concern in the US, and is predicted that half of US adults will be obese (not overweight, obese) by 2030 with current rate of growth.

Give the Congress a boot. They can like their money, but there's a line they shouldn't cross.

[TheZenoEffect]

Pizza is a Vegetable???

I Guess that makes me a Fuckin Vegitarian Then!!!!

[BooGooNFlowoo4Evoo]

I guess you have to pack your kid's lunch if you care about his health. There will be no healthy food in a school lunch. This dovetails perfectly with the Republican agenda: if it's a social program, kill it. If you can't do that, sell it out to private forces who will take taxpayer money to degrade it to the point of utter worthlessness. Anybody whose ultimate goal is to shrink the government down to the point where you can "drown it in a bathtub" does not belong in office.

[Ubinnhad]

Americans are morons whose average life expectancy is FALLING.

Only in America.

[Quandary121]

Sorry i have to go water my Pizza "PLANT" its leaves are looking a little Crispy

[UkTruthSeeker2009]

@Quandary121 LOL ;)

[BaronOfStuff]

MEAT FEAST

[UkTruthSeeker2009]

Haha Pizza a vegetable omg reminds me of what the EU said today according to them Water does not hydrate you when you are dehydrated and if bottles of water are sold claiming this a prison sentence can be served haha

You couldn't make it Up could You !

[1978atcarroll]

@UkTruthSeeker2009 no shit? they said water doesn't hydrate you? I guess no matter where you go, governments are pretty much the same kind of stupid.

[willz100]

Just goes to show how thick and stupid America's congress is lmao does pizza grow on plants or trees nowadays days hahahaha

[1eyednewt]

Voter approval of congress is at an altime low of 7%! They MUST be trying fo a perfect 0!!

[gngst1]

LOL

[FuckYouLetMeLogIn]

Republicans are morons

Politicians are completely corrupt

Pizza is still delicious. Just not a vegetable.

[shovelniron]

.... absoulutley stupid.... somehow this doesn't suprise me at all.... and might I add these congressmen are both republican and democrates....!

[1978atcarroll]

the dumb cunt at 1:35, "i don't want the kids to be my size, you know". why not set an example, teach them to eat right, and take some responsibility for raising your kids, instead of sitting on your fat lazy ass & expecting the schools and government to raise them for you?

[23galadriel]

*facepalm*

[WyldOrbit]

Hahha, what a joke. Is this real? Am I watching the onion? Is congress really that retarded, oh yeah. They are. Duh. Fuck congress, fuckin retards are a waste of the peoples time and money.

[seanwalsh1111]

Tomato is technically a fruit anyway, it has seeds. I wish pizza grew on trees!

[hawkdreaming]

these morons are sooo frikken far out of touch with anything resembling decency or morality. CHECK THIS OUT : JUST GOOGLE 'SENOMYX'... THIS COMPANY USES CELLS FROM ABORTED FETUS' TO TEST FLAVORS FOR COCA COLA/ PEPSI/KRAFT AND OTHERS.... THE RESPONSES FROM THESE COMPANIES WHEN QUESTIONED ABOUT THIS IS GUT TURNING.

[gsxrsixer]

proof congress has no clue on life and is totally disconnected from the 99%

[HOPCOLA]

omg this is really happening, the world is fall me down fall me down aaaa!!!!!!!!!!

[Pajopeace]

The main problem is many of these kids don't eat anything better when they're not at school. It's the parents responsiblity to make sure their children eat well and are well educated and emotionally balanced. Too many people with kids can't wait to dump them off somewhere... don't rely on the state - you'll end up with communism.

[toddholladay]

really..... this is what they are busy with....remove them all ....NOW

[UU361]

Every fucking one of these corrupt assholes in the District of Corruption needs to go. Just follow the money.

[withholeyshoes1]

Technically, tomato is a fruit just as are most of these arseholes making our laws.

[fal2grace]

They've totally lost their minds now :( Thanks Paul.

[PowerinNumbers2012]

You Couldnt Make it up! Great Post, Thank you x
