Ordering and eating a pizza can be a health disaster. For one, they are often full of processed meats, which have been linked to cancer. Canola oil is high in fat and cholesterol, and has been associated with heart disease and is often used in place of olive oil. The crust is typically made of enriched white flour, which has been linked to obesity and diabetes. Pizza sauce usually contains a lot of refined sugar and contains no real health benefits.

Instead of ordering in, why not make an oven-baked pizza at home by using whole wheat flour, organic cheeses and meats, fresh tomatoes, and lots of vegetables. Send kids to school the next day with leftovers for lunch along with a piece of fruit for a healthy lunch that is not packed with saturated and trans fats.
