This whole stink, though, reminds me of the 'USDA says pizza is a vegetable' story from a few months ago. Pizza was never declared a vegetable, but people clung to that version of the story because it fit better with whatever political belief system that they had. I think there's a lot more to this story than just giving a girl chicken nuggets and taking away her sandwich.
The pizza -vegetable thing didn't just come from a few months ago. It actually was started by Ronald Reagan who said tomato sauce was to be considered such because it was made from tomatoes. I remember when he made that remark and it stirred up a hornets nest in many circles.
