Is eating too much pizza and calzones bad for you?

I think the young lady I'm referring to said she doesn't make her pizza crust with sugar. She told me her mother is a diabetic.

OK, enough with the nonsense.

What "nonsense"? I asked the young lady if she knew that fast food pizza franchises put sugar in the crust of their pizza. She said yes and that's why she makes her own pizza crust. She said he mom is a diabetic. I'm not making this up.

I was just making small talk with her when I saw her at my local supermarket.

You're making a mountain out of a molehill.

I took time out of my life to explain to you why a tiny bit of sugar is necessary when baking bread, pizza dough, cake, biscuits....only to improve the baking process....ok, cake has more but it won't develop a brown top without a tiny bit of sugar.

I'm happy you struck up some chit chat with diabetes RN but I doubt if you understood what she actually meant. I took some of my time to look up information that apparently you are too busy to check out yourself.

The nonsense I'm annoyed about is this lazy attitude you have about fact-finding. So, as I'm not getting any younger, and I would like to spend my time doing pleasant things...I'm putting you back on ignore because you have become a pest.

Pizza dough is a bread, it requires yeast to make it rise. Yeast is a living organism, it needs something to eat otherwise it won’t produce any gas and make the bread rise.

The sugar is for the yeast, no sugar no risen bread.

and for creating a tasty brownish patina.....

The young lady works in a supermarket. She isn't a nurse.

Thank you for the info you shared about pizza dough.

A quick Google search says:

"Though many frozen and fast-food varieties (of pizza) tend to be high in calories, fat, sodium and other unhealthy ingredients, pizza can be made healthier."

Fast-food pizza is called "junk food" for a reason.

Another Google search says:

"Calzones aren't exactly healthy food, especially if they are stuffed with meat and large amounts of cheese. A calzone typically uses the same amount of pizza dough as a pizza crust and is meant to serve four people. Eating a whole calzone yourself can mean eating more than your recommended calories for the day."

However, for healthier eating, one can have a vegetarian filled calzone.

Yes I order those.

Well, that's good. You're at least making an effort to eat a little healthier.

You need to mix up your diet, try eating a wide variety of food.

And definately get some fruit and vegetables in.

Pizza can displace your blood's good cholesterol, ultimately clogging up and hardening your arteries. If you are fat or you have a family history of circulatory disease, your triglyceride levels will stay higher for longer, so eating just one slice can increase your risk of conditions like a stroke or a heart attack.

1. Eating pizza in moderation is a big difference from eating pizza all the time.

2. It's always been my understanding that eating a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables along with moderate exercise are the makings of a healthy lifestyle.

3. It's also been my understanding that eating baked lean meat is more healthier than eating fatty greasy fried food.

4. It's also been my understanding that eating skinless chicken breast is more healthier than eating chicken breast with the skin on it.

5. I am not an expert on nutrition. This is just what I've learned or have been told.

6. My understanding may not necessarily be accurate.

Everybody's high for the occasion
Everybody's trying to tell him what is right for him, yeah
His mommy always bored him with a sermon
But it's plain to see that god can't comfort thee

Sorry, Jason, for the imposition
I think you got it, you got the strength to carry on, oh yeah
No need for drink and a quick decision
Now it's up to thee, ooh, what will be

He's gone, he's gone
Oh I, oh I
He better learn how to face it
He's gone, he's gone
Oh I, oh I
I'd pay the devil to replace him
He's gone, and he's gone
Oh why, what went wrong?

Get up in the morning, look on the website
One less person banging on that book, yeah
No trace of any stupid drivel
Now I can't see he's heading where trolls agree

He's gone, he's gone
Oh I, oh I
He better learn how to face it
He's gone, and he's gone
Oh I, oh I
I'd pay the devil to replace him
He's gone, and he's gone
Oh why, what went wrong?

Think I'll spend eternity in the city
Let the carbon and monoxide choke my thoughts away, yeah
And pretty bodies help dissolve the memories
They can never be what cartoons were to me

He's gone, he's gone
Oh I, oh I
He better learn how to face it
He's gone, and he's gone
Oh I, oh I
I'd pay the devil to replace him
He's gone, and he's gone
Oh I, what went wrong?

He's gone
Oh I, I better learn how to face it
He's gone, he's gone
I can't believe that he's gone
Oh I, I'd pay the devil to replace him
He's gone
Oh I, I better learn how to face it
He's gone, he's gone
I can't believe that he's gone
Oh I, I'd pay the devil to replace him
He's gone, he's gone
He's gone, he's gone
He's gone, he's gone

I can't believe it.

Sugar is brain food. That was why Marconi was so smart. There's no maximum dose of sugar.

Don't listen to JessicaPerry. She's on the "list". Sugar is as healthy as seven apples! Imagine that: SEVEN apples!

Glitterbag's right. Add more sugar! There's not enough sugar!

Try her crust next to one that has sugar. You will like the sugar one most. Your body is trying to tell you something: you need more sugar.

Once more: listen to Glitterbag: eat more sugar and salt!
