You May Lose Your Right to Pizza

[Deletive]

But it's pizza hut. There are healthier places in Canada then just pizza hut. Not many people I know actually like pizza hut compared to the half a dozen other/better (even healthier) pizza places out there.

Please tell me this is a joke

People have the right to be as unhealthy as they want. 

 

Just like hospitals should have the right to tell you to piss off if you need surgery because you decided to eat 5 pizzas a week and disregard your health. 

 

It can work both ways and damn well should. 

[Faceman]

I'm absolutely, 100% in favor of removing pizza from the school's menu in america!

...I'm really starting to think TEOTWAWKI is coming, because we keep agreeing on things.

I wouldn't notice it was gone if my old school didn't serve such food.

 

One day they served hot dogs

I didn't think it was possible to mess up hotdogs

 

it is.

Because, honestly, they taste like utter shit. And stuffed crust pizza doesn't help it much either.

I think it makes perfect sense to do this in schools, where people are still growing and learning.

The thread title is a little extreme, no? You aren't losing your right to pizza. You can still go buy it somewhere else yourself. You just won't be offered it through your cafeteria.

It's a schools job to educate you. Not just in knowledge, but in life lessons as well. Offering healthy options you might not have thought you liked isn't a bad thing.

 

Go out and get it.

Order it in.

Bring it from home.

Problem solved.

 

Pizza Hut is still delicious. Thin crust pepperoni is amazing. Don't even get me started on stuffed crust..

The stuffed crust is amazing. AMAZING.

Their pizza, however, is too oily, and extremely expensive.

 

 

Yes it's oily, but *plot twist* oily pizza is better tasting than non oily pizza. Fat = Flavor in all types of cooking.

That's highly, highly debatable.

I much prefer non oily pizza to oily pizza. The pizza I make at home has no oil, and yet is the best tasting I've had.

Fat does not always equal flavor.

But that thought definitely shows your nationality (60% kidding)

 

And yet, every single customer you talk to that doesn't tip, seems to think that $00.75 goes to their delivery driver. (or $1.25 in some places)

 

*plot twist* 99% of customers don't read anything on the box

WHAT.

It's like $2.99 here. So high it almost makes me reconsider ordering.

While that'd be awesome, it doesn't happen.

Adults absolutely should have the right to be a unhealthy as they want.

When you're at school, you're young and your well being is in the schools hands.

Eating healthy food is better for you, so this makes sense.

 

You can still eat as unhealthy as you want. On your own dime, on your own time.

Oh in schools absolutely. The school system has a obligation to take care of the students. That includes physically as well as mentally. Offering junk food in schools is a slap in the face. You can't preach having a sharp mind and then preach being a slob and not maintaining a proper diet. 

 

Parents want to ruin their kids and deliver bad examples, go ahead. On their own time. 

 

I'm not saying don't be a goody two shoes with your diet. You can get away with a lot of great meals if you're balancing things out and taking care of yourself. But kids don't have that knowledge till someone gives it to them. 

 

Give it to them when they are young and impressionable so they start making smart choices of their own accord down the line. Those are the lessons that last the longest and become ingrained.

It's less a statement on nationality, and more a statement on genetics. Most people will agree that fat equals flavor in a blind taste test. Why? Because from a physiological standpoint, fat packs more energy per pound than any other food source, and the human body craves energy, and taste is, at a basic level, based upon physiological need. This of course disregarding learned tastes.

 

I'm willing to bet, in a blind taste test, that you would prefer a pizza with a bit of butter in it, over one without, this of course discounting dishonesty.

Or, as reality shows, they will go hungry, because health food generally tastes like ass.

Young people generally need energy rich food, not health food made for older people that don't burn as much energy.

[DevilishBooster]

I would rather eat pizza and live happy than be restricted to what the government deems "healthy" and be miserable. To paraphrase all the diehard feminists, "It's my body, you can regulate it." Try to get between me and my pizza and see what happens.....

 

On a serious note, the pizza they are referring to is nothing but a means to ingest mass amounts of grease (there's a reason my favorite pizza is called The Cardiac Arrest...). If you actually truly love pizza like I do and make it yourself, it can be reeeeeeally healthy, especially when you are using fresh veggies and lean meat.

[Jack.EXE]

I love the fat/calorie fobia she has now...

 

Skim milk is one of the least healthy options out of the different milks.

MOST, if not ALL of the vitamins in milk are fat-solluable, meaning, they NEED fat to work.

 

The regulations cap calories at 650 per meal.

Thankfully, my school is a private school so I dont have to put up with this bull.

Food still tastes like crap, but at least I can eat as much of it as I want.

[HalGameGuru]

Demonizing Pizza is idiotic. Any food can be made healthy or unhealthy. Pizza is no exception... what is pizza? Bread, tomato sauce, cheese, meats, and veggies.... sounds like a whole meal in one dish, does it not? Make it a healthier meal, telling kids pizza is the devil does nothing, give them food they like in a healthier option. School systems are thrown money hand over fist, and it never improves anything, bureaucracies don't know how to make intelligent use of money, its why they are a bureaucracy and not a business. Thin crust, non-bread crust, or (my favorite) breakfast pizza: the crust is a crispy cooked omelette; good sauce, lots of cheese, various meats, various veggies, boom, healthy meal. Fat and cholesterol are not bad things, sooner people throw out the political nutrition agenda of the SIXTIES the sooner we can get to eating real, actually healthy, food.

 

Supersize me was a sham, you should watch Fathead.

In another age on another forum we had college students training to be nutritionists and people who already WERE going over the changes and the science, on milk, for anyone not yet at full adult growth they were suggesting whole fat milk WITH condensed milk ADDED to it for young children to maximize supply of the vitamins and minerals in it. My sister gives my nephew SKIM and wonders why its not helping him any...

[Crosseyed Sniper]

Damn, did you REALLY have to post such a delicious looking pic of a pizza? We all know what pizza looks like, dude. I mean, all that did was make me hungry and lick all over my screen!

Thanks obama. Our beloved food is now the enemy of the state thanks to the "eating healthy" programs. If I cant eat my pizza then how can I watch my netflix and drink my Mountian Dew? 

Oh'Bama is a socialist.  Of course this sort of topic would appear when he's president.  That's why I didn't vote for him.  

[BurgerBum]

I prefer Papa John's. Their crusts taste much chewier and they definitely taste less oily than Pizza Hut.

round table pizza master race. )

[Yoinkerman]

For kid's lunches?  Yeah.  I'm alright with pizza being a pizza friday thing or something.

[Yummychickenblue]

Good thing I'm home schooled then! I always have a toasted ham sandwich for lunch anyway. So good!  :wub:

 

As far as pizzas go Dominos is the closest so that's what we often get. Although I prefer wood burning oven pizza. Or better yet, homemade pizza. That stuffs good and is much healthier than other chain options like Pizza Hut, Pleba Johns ( ) and Dominos.

[Aphexx]

for all those who advocate for the "right" to eat anything you want even if its bad for you... that's exactly what the smokers said trying to hold onto their bad habit.

 

that said I make a shit tonne of pizzas at home for myself, so much so that I've got a system for keeping the dough yeast from the past to keep populating new dough I make. as I type this I think I have enough risen dough to make 5 10" pizzas right now

 

the problem with bad tasting cafeteria food is a systemic problem originating from way up high to washington. with decades long unbalanced taxation and wars on multiple fronts spending on the domestic front has been butchered especially school budgets. this has led to a vast scaleback of how cafeterias are even run

 

school cafeterias are not functioning kitchens anymore they are merely just a place of reheating mass produce factory food, and as such most of the cafeterias are staffed with unskilled workers who cannot comprehend or understand how to work with the new cafeteria changes and thus shitty tasting food

 

my aunt used to say that people were able to smoke in planes movie theatres and university lectures. for you 'freedom' to do what I want nuts try to advocate for open smoking anywhere you want as well

Food in the US is unbelievably cheap, and the portions are fucking insane. I think if they want to address the obesity issue, they could do with looking into their portion sizes. I'm not joking when I say that we bought bags of food in the US that said something like 'serves 4' would be good enough for 10 servings.
