Nice innovation, but i do wish that junk food wasn’t the norm at tech events.
So that may be a factor. In a world full of people who are either vegan and looking down their nose at you if you aren't or only eat keto or some other niche thing and where people complain about food allergies and yadda, pizza is the least worst option that will have the most universal appeal.
I absolutely do not need a total stranger deciding for me what is nutritionally appropriate for me, all Big Brother style.
Has a decent mix of protein, fats and carbs in a tasty package. Not everyone wants dry lean chicken, or zero-calory veg/shrooms, even if any two people here could agree on what is “nutritionally appropriate”.
On the contrary, it's makes almost every group unhappy for different reasons: keto, gluten-free, "paleo", vegan.
(Not that I dislike it personally)
>Event organisers may spend the sponsorship money on any food and drink they deem appropriate according to local law and custom.
It depends on how you make it and how much you eat of it (calories).
It also depends if you reguraly workout and how many calories you burn.
Each slice has:
- 12-15g protein
- 16g fat (11g polyunsaturated)
- sodium 500mg
- carbohydrates 30g
- 2 to 5mg lycopene
Not bad unless you go crazy with a 'BBQ-sauce meatlovers' american pizza.
Have you heard of ordering pizzas without meat?
What kind of godawful pizzas are you eating that use processed bread as a base...
Not to be too much of a devils advocate, but I usually eat pizza in the form of a pesto pizza loaded up with veggies. There's definitely an argument that could be made that pizza doesn't have to be unhealthy.
Also, "healthy" pizzas and tasty pizzas as sets have little to no intersection. Which is fine for food you don't eat day in, day out.
Nutritionally, pizza is the last thing that an office worker needs. Free pizza at an event is another salad / gym session that the worker needs to organise on their own time. Or not.
Look up how much sugar is in the average pizza sauce/dough.
Same goes for the pomodoro - it’s not ketchup, for dog’s sake, it should be just tomato, garlic, herbs (and onions and olive oil maybe). If your pizzeria puts heaps of sugar into the pomodoro, you might want to consider switching.
