Why would Congress do something like this?  Oh, you know, just as a little favor for their friends over at ConAgra and Schwan Foods.  ConAgra and Schwan are two of the largest manufacturers of frozen and processed foods, whose lobbyists no doubt played an important role in this decision.  That’s just what friends do for friends!

You can read a more serious report on the decision here.
