pizza

Cyn and I were at the pizza place down the street. A young mother and her mother were trying to keep the two rambunctious boys in control. At one point, the grandmother said, "if you don't get over here and eat your pizza, you don't get any ice cream!"

I found this to be a strange thing to say, because I didn't think you should get dessert if your dinner was pizza. But I guess that's just the way I was raised. So I started thinking about it. Maybe I don't get dessert after pizza because I've always just stuffed myself with it. Lately I don't eat that much, but I feel pizza is fattening enough by itself. But I still don't want to eat anything sweet after that because of all the cheese and grease and tomato and spicy pepperoni.

What about you? What are your pizza eating habits? How much do you eat, and do you have dessert afterwards?

For a kid, dessert is the sweet treat you get for eating your dinner. For me, pizza is a treat in itself. So why did they have to bribe the kids with something unhealthy to get them to eat something else that is unhealthy?

Pizza is unhealthy? It's just bread, cheese and tomato.

Lots of grease. Maybe you use less cheese than we do here. And I always have pepperoni on mine.
