It's starch, dairy and processed/cured meat regardless how you make it. Usually meetups serve from counter takeout chains which makes it even worse. There is no argument for pizza not being a junk food.
- hueving 8y ago>processed/cured meat regardless how you make it. Have you heard of ordering pizzas without meat?
- throwaway413 8y agoWhich still just leaves the highly-processed carbs and high-calorie dairy overload.
- sureaboutthis 8y agoOrder a whole wheat crust.
- eertami 8y ago>highly-processed carbs What kind of godawful pizzas are you eating that use processed bread as a base...
- chrisseaton 8y agoAll dough is highly processed. Milling, separation, other processes applies to the original plant product to make flour, then fermentation usually with highly refined sugar.
- shaklee3 8y agoThat depends on what you mean by processed. By your definition even milling your own flour is "processed". Places that make their own dough are far from the classic definition of processed.
- beaconstudios 8y agoyou know the "processed" in "processed foods" doesn't mean milling grains, right? It's processes like freeze-drying, adding preservatives and various chemical agents to provide consistency, taste, texture, longevity. Processes that introduce weird effects and ingredients that may have a negative impact on your health.
- lojack 8y ago> It's starch, dairy and processed/cured meat regardless how you make it. Not to be too much of a devils advocate, but I usually eat pizza in the form of a pesto pizza loaded up with veggies. There's definitely an argument that could be made that pizza doesn't have to be unhealthy.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoIf that's your definition of junk food, then so is half of the stuff you can order in regular, expensive restaurants.
- eV6ahne6bei 8y agoIt's possible to make very healthy pizza but the big chains make it pumped full of oil, sugar and meat.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoAgain, if your definition of "unhealthy" contains "meat", then half+ of the regular food is out. Also, "healthy" pizzas and tasty pizzas as sets have little to no intersection. Which is fine for food you don't eat day in, day out.
- mikekchar 8y agoOr, I suppose, bread, cheese, salami and tomato sauce. That sounds a lot better ;-) Probably shouldn't make a diet of it, but it's healthy enough in moderation.
