    Another thing to remember in this debate is the role of processed food products....pizza can be a healthy choice if the proper ingredients are used, however the folks that want tomato sauce to qualify as a vegetable with unlimited use in school lunch rooms are the corporations that provide highly processed (frozen pizza slices) on the cheap to school systems. Pizza that is low in nutritional value, but high in fat content and sodium. Two things that we Americans really need to limit in our diets.

    i guess this is thinking along the lines of my friend that goes and stuffs himself at a buffet and famously says "as long as i eat some green beans it is a healthy meal..."

    A serving of pizza only needs two tablespoons of tomato paste to qualify as a vegetable under US nutritional guidelines.

    Unbelievable!

    because there's 13 pounds of tomato paste in it
    Well the components of mr. syrup are either from corn, types of cane or maple sap......sounds like a potential vegetable to me.

    I have those lunch boxes for my children. I love the computer carrying case. I actually home teach my children so this is a non-issue for me. I worry for the children who have no other option but free school lunch.

    It's vegetable matter....true, it is the seeds of the plant....but I believe that the US government classifies it as a vegetable....and a fuel source :twisted:

    Is it a grain due to the plant being a monocot or is there another point that makes it a grain? :?:

    there are other plants that are determined to be monocots... so no corn isnt classified as a grain solely because of that... otherwise rice would be a vegetable... and we all know it aint and its never even questioned.

    I am not sure, I am not a biologist but I think corn is considered a grain because its seed coat is fused to the seed like in grasses...I think where people become confused is because we eat the corn in its premature stage...I think its called the milk stage.

    Corn is a monocot, like the grasses....and the fact that we, generally, eat it in its softer stage...not dried like the other grains....probably gets it tossed into the vegetable category by many people.....just think, we could count pop-corn as a grain, which it is, for school lunches. :twisted:
