Doable

It's pretty clear that I am going to be eating a whole lot of pizza from now on, so I might as well try to minimize the damage.

Let's see. Pizza is loaded with tomato sauce, which has been shown to have a pretty decent anti-cancer effect you can't get from lycopene supplements. Okay, great. What else can I get out of it?

I can use whole-wheat flour from time to time. Believe it or not, whole-wheat pizza is pretty frigging good. I used to live near a placed called Roppolo's in Austin, Texas, and they made whole-wheat pizza that was top-notch.

I can keep making sauce without fat, although adding olive oil would be a plus in some ways, because it contains HDL, the form of cholesterol that fights heart disease. I've always had insanely high HDL levels anyway, but it can't hurt.

Cheese...sorry, I cannot deal with low-fat cheese. It's not even cheese. It's linoleum. The mix I use right now is half whole-milk and half part-skim. That's about as weird as I can get.

I ought to slop some healthy toppings on it. The kalamatas and green peppers are a good start. Don't know about the onions. Fresh garlic would be a good idea. I could cut chunks of it and use it instead of putting powder in the sauce.

Seafood toppings can be great, and they're probably less lethal than ancient, waxy pepperoni full of rancid fat and salt. Maybe I should start using scallops. Supposedly all shellfish are healthy even though they're loaded with cholesterol. I wonder what's in that fake crabmeat. Hmm. The Internet says it's fish. That would be good.

This might be a survivable diet change if I work it just right.
