We should probably be thankful that the Dems were booted out of office before this went from mandatory calory counts to mandatory calorie limits, or taxes (for our own good) on any orders exceeding certain calorie limits.

Hey Jim, I understand your conundrum with pizza law, but here is my pizza law.

Chain franchises who make and sell pizza really suck. Particularly Dominoes, Papa John's, Little Caesar's, and Cisi's.

He doesn’t list 34 million different pizza combinations on his menu, so he doesn’t have to provide nutritional information for them. He lists crusts, toppings and probably a handful of pre-configured pizzas such as supreme, meat-lover, veggie, etc.

I don’t think it’s all that burdensome.

Pizza contributes to Climate Change.

To be environmentally responsible eat nuts and beans, and a few insects and plant roots(especially weeds) wouldnt hurt.

LOL so true. If it rolls through an oven on a conveyor belt then it’s not a a real pizza.

If you order chain pizza with “very light sauce” you’ll be amazed at how much better it tastes. They use terrible sauce. The rest isn’t bad, especially for the price (2 pizzas for $12 or whatever).

“I don’t think it’s all that burdensome.”

I agree the author ventured into the absurd to make his point.

He’s probably really concerned about customers discovering that a fully loaded pizza has nearly a pound of fat, enough salt for two weeks and 6,000 calories.

But, hey, if he wants to fluff it up a bit, it’s a free country.

“I don’t think it’s all that burdensome.”

That’s mighty white of you, Danny.

Now, can you point to the Article and Section of the US Constitution that gives the Feds the specific enumerated power to enforce this idiot rule?

Thanks in advance.

His other concern is his customers discovering that “Make with Real Cheese” is not the same as “100% real cheese”.

"Corporate, quick, I need a calorie count on a large cheese filled crust with pepperoni, ham, triple bacon, ground beef, sausage, double cheese, green peppers, banana peppers, onion, mushroom, spinach, feta, pineapple, tomato, olive, anchovy, and garlic".

I think Federalist No 936 deals with the great pizza debate.

The same place they get the power to regulate drugs, alcohol, tobacco, insecticides/chemicals etc.

I can point to laws passed by Congress. If you think it's unconstitutional file a lawsuit to make them stop it.

If you win, I'll vote for the constitutional amendment to allow them to do that because I like food labels. I think Congress was traitorous when they removed the country of origin labels.

What do you expect at a $5.95 all-you-can-eat buffet?
