OK, sure thing pal.

The pizza’s probably better for you than whatever they put in the diet soda.

Pizza is one of the main food groups in collage, you can even eat it cold as long as it is not to old.

Diet soda? Bah.

My fave is pepperoni pizza with kimchi topping. Hot pizza plus cold kimchi, yum! Add Mexican coke with lots of ice, heaven.

Diet Soda no thanks. Beer yes ;-)

Do I detect a couple specs of mushroom and green pepper? Now that’s healthy!

Love cold pizza!!!

Yep, pizza’s great until you get bloodwork done. Then the doctor tells you that your bad cholesterol is too high and you’re borderline hypertensive, oh, and here’s some scrips for you to go get filled.

Maybe not health food, even though it contains all the food groups, but definitely comfort food. And being comfortable is healthy.

Typically when we have pizza, we each eat 1/4 of it. The rest goes in the fridge for future breakfasts (mine).

Leftover pizza. It isn’t just for breakfast any more.

“Give me 2 double cheeseburgers, large fries, & a large Tab. I’m on a diet.” ~~an old friend’s actual fast-food order

If you compare it to the same meal with a non-diet soda that size. . .

Let’s see, grains? check. Dairy? check. meat? check. Fruits? check. Vegetables? check.

Diet drink to remove the calories? check.

Yep… healthy

Diet soda in large quantities causes cancer!

if you want it really low-carb, make that pizza out of a cauliflower dough

Nutritionally, what you need is about 50% carbohydrates, 30% fat, and 20% protein. Pizza is not too far off.
