A Trump administration 'loophole' in school lunch rules will allow for certain types of pasta to qualify as vegetables as well as for students to get more burgers and fries.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's proposals will continue to erode Michelle Obama's legacy by easing restrictions on the types and quantities on fruit and vegetables put on the table.
'Pasta made of vegetable flour(s) may credit as a vegetable, even if the pasta is not served with another recognizable vegetable,' the new guidelines say.
The department said the changes will help to reduce food waste because students were often given too much fruit and vegetables which was thrown away.

By that reasoning, is a donut a vegetable?
Doesn't really matter - Michelle had to right to destroy a kids lunch. Case of -I will eat hamburgers and fries but you must eat broccoli - because I'm a Democrat.
Potato chips are vegetables. That's a well known fact.
