Declare two tablespoons of Congress to be a vegetable.

Created by N.T. on November 19, 2011

In response to the proposal to count two tablespoons of tomato sauce as a vegetable and therefore make pizza a vegetable in public schools' cafeterias, We the People declare Congress to be a vegetable.

The current nutrition standards in public schools for the food the cafeterias serve are deplorable. If Congress were to continue to protect the interests of food suppliers rather than the rights of children and their families to receive nutritional food at a reasonable price we will be extremely disappointed at our representatives and the fact that they continually allow lobbyists of the industries they are supposed to be regulating to influence their opinions.

According to the former Surgeon General, 62 percent of adults in the US are obese--but these habits begin in childhood.
