Good, then I should start to raise pizza in my garden.

That's kind of like saying that with the amount of fur humans have on their bodies, we're actually wolves.

This is the most idiotic thing to come out of the US in quite a while.

to the school meal discussion i want to add that even if healthy food would be more expensive it's stupid to think as a government that because of that it's better to give the kids shit to eat. if they get healthy meals in the childhood means they get sensible for nutrition and they will likely live more healthy then their whole live. which means many less people would be fat which would cost much less and the economy would profit a lot then.

in reality even if unhealthy food would be less expensive it would cost much more for the whole society. but too bad politicians only look at their current costs and not what will be in 20 or 50 years when the children will be old and fat and can't work anymore and have to go to hospital every week or to a cure

It's true the tomato sauce is healthy, but seriously? One of the stupidest things I've heard this week.

Not really, store bought products contain very high salt and sugar levels, pizza sauce in particular

Home-made sauce can be healthier but pizza in general isn't a very healthy meal

True, it depends entirely on the tomato sauce they use. Tomato passata, the stuff I use to make pizzas, contains a lot of lcyopene  which is supposdoly very healthy. Plus it's literally just tomatoes which have been converted into a sauce, handy for me cos I can't stand whole tomatoes . 

I know after I knock back a few at the bars I always have a craving for a nice big slice of vegetable.....

newest studies show that salt isn't unhealthy like we all thought over the last 50 years or so. saw some tv shows in germany about studies from belgium and i think uk. in reality, it's a big fault to eat too less salt. we germans eat 12g salt on average (6g was recommended here) and for example the us guidelines recommended only 2.5g per day which is a big fault. for example here is a english site about that:

http://www.vosizneias.com/83025/2011/05/04/new-york-high-salt-consumption-not-dangerous/

the problem of the past was they only tested it over a few weeks or so and then it wasn't good for us because the body couldn't "work" against it but over the long-term studies it shows clearly that salt isn't so bad for us. the body learns to live with it but the body can't learn to live with too less salt.

they still say that people who have heart problems should not eat too much salt but this super low 2.5g recommendation is stupid and worse for the body than a normal consume. if you don't have health problems salt will do nothing to you.

biggest joke is a study from 1972 where some american scientists tested it with rats and they got heart problems then. but they gave them the amount of salt if we humans would eat the same projected onto us we would have to eat half an pound per day lol

It's quite easy to explain, really.

Imagine you pass a stack of cash down the table. Along the way, 20 people have touched that stack of cash to push it down the end of the line.

Each time that stack gets pushed, it magically shrink a little. You can go after any of those 20 people that "helped" you push the stack of cash because they all "helped" you.

Over time, each one of them gets more bold and take more of that stack, since there's absolutely no repercussion. The stack of cash at the end just keep getting smaller and smaller.

To compensate, you have to start off with a taller stack of cash. Otherwise, there'll be nothing at the end.

That's almost as bad as the EU's ruling that water is not wet.
