It’s time to market a pizza with no crust.
I give to you “Pizza in a Cup!”
China makes a tasty cardboard dough.
Wouldn't this reduce wheat demand?
Sawdust is very filling.
Didn’t they try that one during the depression?

Inflation is on its march.

I don’t see any burnout where I reside. The Philly suburbs and New Jersey have some of the best pizza in the world, bar none. An average to sub average pizza in this area is equivalent to what is considered the best in other areas of the country. So in at least in one respect we truly are spoiled. As for the price, blame ethanol.
I have an idea:
Lets stop converting our wheat fields to growing corn for ethanol.
While we are at it, we can stop converting pasture land to growing corn for ethanol.
Ditto for rice, hops and barley.
That takes care of the wheat, cheese, meatballs and beer.
If an idiot like me can figure that out, why can’t our elected geniuses?
Maybe they want to do something “green” or “reduce our dependence...” or get donations from ADM (guess which one they actually accomplish).
> According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, an 18-kilogram block of cheddar cheese cost $1.76 on Feb. 16, compared with $1.30 a year ago.
No way. That cannot be right.
18kg * 2.2046lbs/kg = 39.68 lbs — say 40lbs of cheese for $1.76? No way — I do not believe these numbers, they must be a misprint.
Last December Fonterra paid something like NZ$6.90 / kg to farmers for milk solids — and that’s the raw materials before processing them into finished product!
Either our NZ$ has de-valued into next-to-nothing (it hasn’t) or some reporter missed out a couple zeroes somewhere, or you Yanks are getting an amazing deal at $1.76 for 40 lbs of finished product...
Pizza makers could do what potato chip makers and others do - shrink the size and charge the same price. Could the day of the 9 inch “large” pizza be dawning?
