It is all about making money folks, AP reports not a word about the massive profit loss by corporations who make much less on fruits and vegetables, manufactured by nature, than pizza and burgers, made by manufactures.
Any institution that insists pizza is a vegetable is too corrupt to have a single word say on the issue.
And the manufacturers that are in this for the profit only and therefore in massive conflict should just STFU and make what the customer, the government, tells you what to make, and quit running to mommy Republicans to tell on them.
