Part of my science curriculum where I was teaching middle school included a nutrition unit and, to my surprise, though pizza is far from perfect, it faired pretty well in hitting the major food groups. Following the old axium, "You are what you eat.", I would compare the nutritional standards to the basic constituency of one of the 30 trillion cells in the human body, give or take a few. Redemption for the pizza rests in the basic similarity that it has to one of our cells - about 30% fat, 15% protein and the rest carbohydrate. Copious salt and preservatives not withstanding, a pizza will get you to tomorrow. But the greater lesson was that to avoid the surpluses and deficiencies that a typical American diet entails, one could do worse than eat pizza. Now, at the risk of putting your pizza foot in my mouth, I'll just say . . . Well, I suppose . . .
