assignment: photo illustration

Photo Illustration is used to communicate topical ideas or concepts, which aren't necessarily tied to a specific person, place, or location, but are news worthy topics.

This is the article I chose: (NY Times) Congress Blocks New Rules on School Lunches

The article addresses the Dept of Agriculture's plan to incorporate more fruits and veggies into school cafeterias in an effort to fight the increasing numbers related to childhood obesity. Congress decided to shut down the plan after listening to lobbyists representing sodas, potatoes (aka french fries) and frozen pizza. They did, however, compromise by adding tomato paste to the fruit/veg category so schools can continue to serve pizza to children for lunch every day. The only rule, there must be one-quarter cup of paste on each slice of pizza for it to count.
