He was dead within 2 years.

So my point is that this type of pizza isn’t good for you, and it could even be fatal if the rest of your diet is poor.

I don’t know about you guys, but back when I used to eat this kind of food, I could eat a whole large pepperoni pizza from Pizza Hut if I was hungry enough. I would need to be really, really hungry, but I could finish it off. I’m not even that big of a guy, either, and I was never overweight, even when I wasn’t eating right.

So I believe most guys in the US could probably finish off a whole large pizza if they were hungry to start.

Anyway, here are the nutrition facts for 8 slices of a large pepperoni pizza at Pizza Hut:

Calories: 2400
Fat: 104 grams
Sat Fat: 43.2 grams
Carbs: 272 carbs
Sodium: 256% of the daily value

This is high calorie, high fat, high carb, high sodium.

This type of food will kill you if you don’t eat it in moderation. Or better yet, don’t eat it at all.
Yes I know people who could easily eat an entire half gallon of ice cream in one sitting. It doesn't mean you shouldn't eat ice cream. It just means that some people are idiots and Darwin will have his day with them sooner rather than later.

A serving size for a large Pizza Hut pizza is two slices. So that's 600 calories, 26 grams fat, 11 grams sat fat, 52 carbs, and 64% of the daily value of sodium. It's not something you'd want to do every day for dinner, but once or twice a month won't kill you.

Yeah, but I have to see a person who goes to Pizza Hut or Dominos and eats just 1-2 slices of pizza. Especially if there is a party of few people or family with kids...even kids eat more than 2 slices. And they won't just eat a plain cheese pizza, but loaded with everything! Tonnes of cheese, pepperoni, more cheese, stuffed crust with cheese, then cinnamon pizza for dessert. Plus stuffed bread sticks AND soft drinks (who drinks water with pizza...lol..

Here some pizza facts:

Is Pizza Hut still selling that artery-clogging, weight-loss-foiling frankenfood: 15" Hot Dog Bites pie - a large, one-topping pizza with pigs-in-a-blanket backed into the crust?

Did they say it was the pizza that did it? Or was it just that it happened to be the pizza that caused symptoms and thus was the reason he even found out about the issue to begin with?

It was probably the pepperoni. Some people really need to just - not eat that stuff.

Pizza can be the perfect food, it contains a carb, protein, and veggie (tomato sauce, yes I know tomato is really a fruit) if made healthily with low fat cheese, low salt sauce, etc.

You don't need sauce. Part-skim mozzarella, thinly sliced tomatoes, minced garlic, a drizzle of olive oil. No salt at all, except the pinch you need to make the dough - which you stretch thin. If you want protein, you can add tiny cubes of lean steak, or sliced portabella mushrooms, or even make a nice white clam pizza, which has a LOT of protein and tastes delicious.

I like to make Pizza from scratch. Stay away from frozen pizza(processed). Let the dough rise, form a crust, light tomato sauce with herbs. Fresh vegetables such as onions, green peppers, olives, and garlic.

Sounds yummy, I love mushroom pizza, I must try the clam pizza, I don't eat steak (beef). Trader Joe's used to sell low-salt, organic tomato sauce, I loved it and every time I used it in a recipe when I had company for dinner, they thought the sauce was homemade. Since the pandemic, I haven't seen it on their shelves anymore, I'm very disappointed. My second choice for low-salt tomato sauce is Tutterosso.

It sounds like you may have all of the resources that you need.

There are many adult classes offered all across our nation. I know as I serve on the board of a University Cooperative Extension Service. They offer a huge variety of classes. Gardening and Master Gardener licensing. Master Canner courses and licenses. The system was all set up during one of our nation's previous disasters, and then re-tweaked after each eventual disasters.

You could possibly be growing all of those ingredients yourself, licensed and all setup to commercially produce some custom recipe.

Do you reside within the U.S.A., and in the continental contiguous United States? You should have these resources available to you for free.
