Current Event #5 Congress declares the tomato paste on pizza a vegetable

http://www.politicalcartoons.com/cartoon/0a9bbca7-e11c-46f4-bb0b-5083592a2feb.html
The cartoon was drawn by Jen Sorensen.
The key objects in the cartoon are the people.  They are all against healthy foods and support greasy cafeteria food.  They pretty much represent the idea that congress is currently supporting.
The cartoonist uses ridicule.
The cartoon deals with the act that congress recently passed saying that the amount of tomato paste on cafeteria pizza is enough for a full serving of vegetables.
The cartoon's message is that we are slowly ridding schools of vegetables by passing rules like this.
The point of view is that the passing of this rule is absurd and totally wrong.
