18. What Happens When Kids Eat Pizza

This article is about the conclusion of a recent paper published about how eating pizza is affecting children and teenagers. Researchers have found that whenever kids and teens eat pizza, they tend to overeat and end up netting 84-230 calories more than the children who did not eat pizza. This research was made solely on pizza because it has become a regular item on the children's diets.The article also emphasized that there are ways to make pizza healthier, one of them being making homemade pizza and not Pizza Hut. This research hopes to show that just by cutting back one simple item from their diet (pizza) can help decrease child obesity.
