Pizza Sauce = Vegetable

[leo-rcc]

Tomatoes are not vegetables.
They are fruits.

In the United States, tomatoes have legally been considered a vegetable since 1893.

That still doesn't make it correct.

I make mine from scratch. No nutrition nazi is going to keep me from my extra cheese/light sauce, damn it! I don't eat pizza to be nourished, I eat it to have a yummy in my tummy. If I want nutrition I eat what food eats... ya know, like salad and carrots and shit.

You are such a cool chick.

It does not eat the pizzas that way. Even the appearance is terrible. IMO , they should add extra tomatoes.

Either way if it is a fruit or a vegetable, it is still ridiculous to say that the tomato sauce used in pizza is a vegetable.. Let's use the scientific process here.

Pizza
↓
Has pizza sauce on it
↓
Pizza sauce is made from tomato sauce
↓
Has the word tomato in it
↓
Tomatoes are vegetables
↓
Vegetables are healthy
↓
Pizza is healthy

What's next? Corn syrup will be considered a new healthy smoothie? Let's use the scientific process again.

I didn't claim that it did. But it helps explain this decision a little.

For us Pizza is that wonderful treat that IS yummy as most of our diet is 'nutritional' and lean in fats and proteins. And no the American pizza is nothing like the Italian one which is made from scratch and probably much more nutritious.
