Pizza now joins ketchup and relish as vegetables according to Congress.

How Pizza Became A Vegetable Through The Magic Of Influence-Peddling


On Tuesday, Congress decided that pizza is a vegetable. I have to imagine that this news instilled confusion in many Americans, as many Americans are (a) familiar with pizza, (b) familiar with vegetables and (c) sane.

But, to provide specifics that will in no way dispel your lingering thoughts that we are governed by morons but at least allow you some anthropological insight into how a group of morons who have been given permission to sit in a fancy room in Washington, D.C., and grunt at each other actually think, here is their thinking: Pizza is a vegetable for the purposes of determining what goes into public school lunches by virtue of the fact that pizza traditionally includes a schmear of tomato paste. (Botanically speaking, tomatoes are actually fruit, but we're going to have to just let that slide.)

At any rate, you may still be wondering how it came to pass that Congress arrived at the conclusion that pizza could count as a serving of vegetables. Wonder no more! Congress was guided along this path by lobbyists. And lobbyists can do all sorts of things, by magic! (Except provide nutritious lunches for children.)

Daniel Radcliffe set to portray gay poet Allen Ginsberg in new film

Daniel Radcliffe has reportedly been cast to portray Allen Ginsberg in a new play about the poet’s life.

Kill Your Darlings will chart the gay poet’s relationships with Beat Generation writer Jack Kerouac and Lucien Carr, who was imprisoned for two years for murdering his stalker.

Ginsberg, who died in 1997, was open about his sexuality in the 1940s, and listed his partner Peter Orlovsky as his spouse in a Who’s Who entry.

He has been praised for discussing homosexuality publicly, rather than through metaphor.

Earlier this year, Daniel Radcliffe received the Trevor Project’s ‘Hero’ award for raising awareness of the organisation’s work providing helplines for LGBT youth.

The 22-year-old has also filmed public service announcements for the Trevor Project and given the charity sizable donations.

Radcliffe played down rumours last year about his sexuality after it was suggested he had “a gay face”.

Radcliffe, who has said he is “fortunate” to be able to do something about homophobia, reportedly told French press that he was set to play a gay character on screen next year.
