Pudding is Not a Vegetable
from The Crooked Wheel · host The Crooked Wheel
WASHINGTON, DC—In a landmark decision Monday, the US Supreme Court ruled that pudding is not a vegetable under federal law. "Pudding is a dessert, and as such cannot be classified as a vegetable," said Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who wrote the majority opinion. "Vegetables are grown in soil and are consumed as part of a balanced diet. Pudding, on the other hand, is eaten with a spoon." O'Connor added that if pudding were classified as a vegetable, it would open the door to other foods being considered vegetables, such as ketchup and ice cream.
