Incredible that at it takes is to have a lobby group pressure congress and all of a sudden...a new food is declared to be a veggie and so good for you. Hey, I love pizza but if I tried to tell you that eating a lot of it was healthy for you I'd be a laughing stock but not anymore, take a look here, then go grab a slice.
Topics that link in this short video...propaganda, lobby groups, democratic decision making and ???
I feel that this story is very disturbing as it displays the power of the wealthy. to be able to make something that is unhealthy known as healthy? that's ridiculous. this is an excellent example of propaganda because we can clearly see that all it takes is money, power and influence to shape society. the declaration that pizza is a vegetable is something only individuals who strongly believe in capitalism can support.its a big slap to the face to the Canadian food guide... its like the congress is saying "IN THE NAME OF CAPITALISM, WHO CARES IF KIDS BECOME OBESE, AS LONG AS WE MAKE MORE MONEY, ITS ALL GOOD". This goes to show that the provisions of powers is corrupted. I believe that the wealthy 1% of the population strongly influence the government to do their bidding as many laws are (generally) in favor of large corporations.
