It's official: french fries are fresh vegetable

Based on a little-noticed change to obscure federal rules, the U.S. Department of Agriculture defines frozen french fries as "fresh vegetables". A federal judge in Texas endorsed the USDA's decision in a court case. Yeah, right. As if 129 millions overweight Americans (66% of the entire population) would not already be enough (list of the fattest cities). By the way: Europe is struggling with the growing obesity problem, too.
