Ketchup as a Vegetable

I’m posting this to settle a bet with one of my friends – it’s the proof that Ronald Reagan’s government attempted to reclassify Ketchup as a vegetable in a bid to make school dinners cheaper since it would then satisfy the federal rules on vegetable content on government-provided meals.

On a similar note, whilst looking for this proof I found this story claiming that about 5 years ago, the US government are at it again – they’ve now reclassified Salsa dip as a vegetable!
