Paragraph 1
Pasta has been reclassified as a vegetable in U.S. schools. An
of national
regulations has resulted in pasta now counting towards the vegetable
in school lunches across the USA. The new school guidelines were released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture last week. The rules stipulate that: "Pasta made of vegetable
may credit as a vegetable,
if the pasta is not served with another
vegetable." Pasta can only be regarded as a vegetable
if it is made with potato, soy or other
, vegetable-based flour. Shocked
of the new rules joked that bread could be regarded as a vegetable as
is also made from flour.
