Kindergartners toss pizzas, learn about food pyramid

This "article" is ridiculous. Teaching kids about the food pyramid with pizza!? As one reader noted, a slice of Domino's pizza has at least 250 calories, and processed tomato sauce is hardly a serving of vegetables. This just shows what's wrong with our society today... We're teaching kids about nutrition with corporate-sponsored fatty pizza! The most ridiculous quote:

"The students learned about good nutrition and the food pyramid because pizza has many of the food groups that are included."

There's a great article in the New York Times today, "Cable Channel Nods to Ratings and Leans Left", about how MSNBC is increasingly becoming the counterweight to Fox News. I've found that I even can easily stand watching the republicans on MSNBC, as there's a difference between blindly standing behind the president (most commentators on Fox News) and simply staying true to your conservative values (and thus seeing that this administration doesn't support most of them).
