No doubt by now you’ve heard the news. Has Congress actually made it so pizza (still) counts as a vegetable in school lunches?
Backstory: Late last year, President Obama signed a bill until law seeking to improve the quality and healthfulness of the school lunch program. Here is the White House Press release with a sample menu and fact sheet.
