The US House of Representatives dealt a blow to childhood obesity
warriors on Thursday (Friday NZT) by passing a bill that abandons
proposals that threatened to end the reign of pizza and French fries on
federally funded school lunch menus.
The scuttled changes, which would have stripped pizza's status as a vegetable and limited how often French fries could be served, stemmed from a 2010 child nutrition law calling on schools to improve the nutritional quality of lunches served to almost 32 million US school children. link
