Pizza certainly has its place in school meals, but equating it with broccoli, carrots and celery seriously undermines this nation's efforts to support children's health and their ability to learn because of better school nutrition.

Today there are not even enough fruits and vegetables in this country to allow all Americans to follow the government guidelines to eat five to nine servings a day.

I used to think that eating healthy was ordering a fish sandwich at McDonalds.

Any administration foolish enough to call ketchup a vegetable cannot be expected to cut the mustard.

People are trying to figure out what American food is; it's certainly an amalgamation.

We're all bombarded with so many dietary messages that it's hard to find time to sort through all this information, but we do have time to take a look at our kids' plates.

Consumers deserve the right to know what's in their food - and obviously, most people want that choice. It's hard to see how more knowledge about the products we eat every day can hurt us.

I'm not a food critic, and I'm not really an authority to write anything on food.

I think it's important that people know what they are eating and especially to know what their children are eating.
