Everyone knows pizza is bad for you. Loads of carbs, tons of cheese, lots of greasy pepperoni goodness. But what about all the additives that aren't so plain to see. Almost all the pizza places that "food babe" obtained ingredients such as MSG, GMO, and artificial coloring and flavoring. That's kind of scary. Not really ever knowing what it is that you are consuming. Something I found even more interesting was the trouble "food babe" went to to find the ingredients! Little Caesars (a personal favorite of mine) refused to tell her the ingredients used in their pizza and said "if you need to know so badly maybe you should just not eat it".
After reading all this I was really turned off by the companies putting all the unhealthy and unsafe additives into food and also pizza in general. Although pizza is yummy and really great after a long day, eating too much and consuming all of the artificial and oily additives can lead to diabetes, obesity and even depression. I love you pizza, but you are not worth it! The article really opened my eyes and it proved that we are all blinded by our tastebuds sometimes!

I have never thought about all the extra additives in pizza or any food for that matter. This really opens my eyes to what we are really ordering when we eat at restaurants! I also loved that you added a little humor to this post! (: -Kyra T
ReplyDeleteI really liked how you put some humor and your own personal spin on this issue... Saying that, I think you have gotten me off ordering pizza for a while for the better.

I think this is a great post about what we should be aware of when we are eating pizza. However, I'm not too sure what you mean by "food babe". Also, you mentioned something about GMO's in pizza. Having done extensive amounts of research on biotechnology and GMO's, I'd love to see more information that elaborates on this in regards to pizza and your post.

ReplyDeleteI really love how catchy this post is, as well as how much it can appeal to your audience. Just like you, I love pizza. But i never realized how bad it was for me! (I mean, I knew, but I did not realize what kinds of things were put in it!)
