I think the zeitgeist would agree that Pizza isn’t healthy, it’s a junk food

What is a pizza?

  • Bread
  • Cheese
  • Topping (pepperoni)
  • Tomato Sauce

By weight bread is the largest component of pizza.

So which part of this makes it a junk food?

Carnivores would say the Cheese and Meat is fine, and the bread and sauce are making it a junk food

What would have to change on a pizza to make it “healthy”?

    The junk food status of a pizza is greater than the sum of it’s parts, there is nothing you can do to make it healthy while still calling it pizza.

      It is delicious! Is Pizza just a fancy loaf of bread? Or flat of bread? I’m not up to date on the technical bread language

    Not a dietarian, but I suppose the “junkiness” is determined by the percentage of some types of fats. Less “bad” lard – healthier food.

    If we remove the meat… we get something like broccoli pizza

    This is still a junk food - right?
