US dept. of Health keeping the American public interests at heart by deciding Ketchup and pizza is a vegetable

    One time I was working a weekend and woman came over to me and told me that the breakfast table set up was not kosher, Having set it up myself I doubted it, but supposedly no one is perfect, so I went over and looked around, completely milkhig(kosher). I just looked confused, she said there are hard boiled eggs on the table, at this point I was totally lost so I said "oh, are you allergic?" its my job to bring out the food and help people but I sure as shit dont get paid enough to do peoples thinking for them (so I dont, EVER, I let them make a stupid decision and simply carry it out, my job is to follow orders not change the world one idiot at a time {no money in it}) and she says "no but there is also cheese on the table", still confused I stuck with "oh are you allergic?" (thats my general go to question whenever someone asks a question they havnt thought about) I mean I honestly didnt understand her point, this wasnt even one of the many times I was trying to be difficult. She said theres cheese on the table which is milk, I nodded (after all Im not a scientist but Im pretty sure thats true), and "eggs, which are meat." I said eggs arent meat theyre parve (not meat of milk according to jewish law thus allowed to be consumed with either), its allowed. She said NO, NO, eggs are meat, I KNOW, my husband is a nutritionist and he told me so, according to the US department of health eggs are meat. I said "Not to argue with your husband but the US also declared ketchup a vegetable (recently also pizza) and OUR rules predate the US government by over 3 millenia. So she looks at me and said, do you think theyll change the rules, you know to be consistent with the times? I told her to consult her local rabbi and maybe contact a senator, to which she thanked me profusely and swore to do just that.
