French fries called fresh vegetables

• Diet, Nutrition

Based on a little-noticed change to obscure federal rules, the USDA now defines frozen French fries as "fresh vegetables."

A federal judge in Texas last week endorsed the USDA's decision in a court case.

U.S. District Judge Richard Schell said the term "fresh vegetables" was ambiguous.

The USDA quietly changed the regulations last year at the behest of the French fry industry, which has spent decades pushing for a revision to the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about French fries called fresh vegetables. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
