Actually, the 1/2 ounce of tomato paste (per slice) has always counted as a vegetable according to USDA standards. So has french fries, for fucks sake. Congress just stopped the USDA from implementing new standards.

The food industry spent something like $6,000,000 lobbying congress to keep the standards set inthe 70's. Welcome to the new America, same as the old America....

There was an uproar in the early 80s, the Reagan years, when ketchup was promoted to "vegetable" status for the school lunch program. cn

yup, same thing. The food industry drove that decision as well as the cheese program when the price of milk was too low.
