Do people seriously consider pizza a vegetable now?
I've heard that in America pizza is now considered a vegetable. Personally, I think that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Here are my reasons:
1. Just because something has a vegetable on it, that does not make it a vegetable. That is like saying wine is a fruit because it is made from grapes.
2. Fruits and vegetables do not have any cholesterol. Pizza has cheese, and often pepperoni as a topping (only animal products contain cholesterol). Pizza has cholesterol and therefor cannot be a vegetable.
3. A tomato is scientifically classified as a fruit, because of the seeds.
What do you think about the topic? I personally think it is just a way for unhealthy people to continue eating unhealthy, and count it as a vegetable.
It is also a way or the schools to keep selling crappy food, and advertise it as healthy.
Opinions?

Who said vegetables have to be considered healthy to remain a vegetable. Although, I am skeptic where you got your information on pizza officially becoming a vegetable. It has vegetable, but pizza itself cannot be considered a vegetable, that's illogical because of the many components combined(cheese, bread, ect.).
