Congress Blocks New Rules on School Lunches (From The New York Times) WASHINGTON — A slice of pizza still counts as a vegetable. In a victory for the makers of frozen pizzas, tomato paste and French fries, Congress on Monday blocked rules proposed by the Agriculture Department that would have overhauled the nation’s school lunch program. Unbelievable!… How long do we have to wait to increase the likelihood of making a dent on childhood obesity?

Congress Blocks New Rules on School Lunches
