Reagan said that catsup is a vegetable, not pizza.

Oh wow, you're right. I somehow completely misremembered it.

Pizza as a vegetable was 2011[0], so Obama years. And the ketchup was Reagan as president, not governor.

Or perhaps the ConAgra years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketchup_as_a_vegetable#Similar...

Note that this legislation did not classify pizza as a vegetable ... it disallowed regulations that would have made the amount of tomato paste in pizza no longer be classified as a vegetable (i.e., it continued to be so classified) ... but the disallowed change in regulations still would have classified a larger (4x) amount of tomato paste to be classified as a vegetable. And of course tomato paste is not the same thing as catsup (or ketchup).
