Pizza and TMNT!

When I was a child, I did as most children did and watched cartoons. One of my favorite cartoons to watch as a child was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Anyone who has seen an episode of TMNT knows that there was one food that all the characters had a weakness for – pizza. Because I wanted to be so much like a ninja turtle (Michelangelo was my favorite), my desire for pizza became similar to theirs. Upon my discovery of pizza, with its melted cheese and delicious slices of pepperoni, it soon became my favorite meal to eat. Whether it was freshly delivered or cold and eaten right out of the box, my insatiable hunger for this Italian dish was quenched at every opportunity I had. Now that I’m older, I still have this craving for pizza, but it has been tempered by the nutritional facts and value that began regulating my eating habits. I only have pizza once a week, if that, and I still enjoy every last slice. With all of the delicious pizza eateries there are in the city of San Francisco, I must say that one of my favorite places is still Pizza Hut pizza. Hand tossed, pan style, deep dish, thin crust – all of them provide different nutritional values, and despite this graph and what my regulations are on “eating healthy,” I can’t deny that pizza is still my favorite meal to eat! So when I’m feeling down because I can’t eat pizza, I could just refer to this overweight American!
