Tags: Food USDA The Potato Politics potaoes transparent arguments school lunches from newsweek
It seems the department still considers the potato a second-class vegetable.
A spokesman for the National Potato Council, irked that — despite a failed USDA attempt to limit potato use in new school lunch guidelines — potatoes are still passed over in favor of greener, leafier vegetables. (via bencrair)

Wait wait wait wait wait: Potatoes are second-class vegetables? Obviously, this guy is right — just think how easy it is to get fresh chard in your Happy Meals.
