Health Eating -- Pizza

In case you've ever wondered, one of the greatest healthy eating discoveries is pizza.  I can already hear the snickering, but it's true!  Think about it for a minute.  What are the basic food groups we're supposed to include with every meal?  Grain, dairy, protein, fruits, and vegetables.

• Grain means bread.  Pizza crust is bread.  Check.
• Dairy means milk.  Cheese is milk/dairy.  Check.
• Protein means meat.  Pepperoni (or sausage or beef) is meat.  Check.
• Fruit means fruit.  Tomato is fruit, and tomato sauce is tomato.  Check.
• Vegetable means vegetable.  Onions, bell peppers, mushrooms are all vegetables.  Check.

So pizza is a well-rounded meal.
