Consumption of Pizza Should Be Reduced

There is perhaps no other dish that delights people as much as pizza. Pizza has the reputation of being considered one of the most satisfying foods around the world. There is no proper count to the varieties of pizza available in the world today, but it surely surpasses any other fast food. But have you ever stopped to think about the health effects of consuming pizza on a daily basis? Pizza definitely cannot be categorized as a "healthy food," yet the consumption rate of pizzas is startling. For example, 4% of pizza consumed by children in the United States is during breakfast time. Having pizza for breakfast, which is ideally the healthiest meal of the day, can only have a negative impact on the health of children. The amount of calories that children consume through pizzas is staggering, and can lead to numerous health problems. Even though children's calorie intake through pizzas has reduced considerably between 2003 and 2010, it still leads to obesity, gastrointestinal difficulties, and other health problems among children aged between 2 and 19.
According to government policy in the United States, all school meals must contain some vegetables. In 2011, the amount of tomato sauce used on pizza was enough for it to be considered a "vegetable" by the United States Government. This fact is not only absurd, but also makes something as unhealthy as pizza easily available to children in school cafeterias.
There are several reasons to avoid eating pizzas. One major reason is the increase in blood cholesterol levels that makes people prone to heart disease. This is due to the calorie and sodium content in pizza. Saturated fats in pizza cause blockages in arteries that can lead to heart attacks. Adolescents absorb an extra 230 calories, 5 grams of saturated fat, and 484 milligrams of sodium on days when they eat a pizza. These figures indicate a much higher level of intake than what is required by our body on a daily basis. This in itself is an indication that pizzas should be avoided as much as possible.
The point that nothing good comes out of eating pizzas cannot be stressed enough. Farm fresh ingredients, the best quality cheese, and the most delicious meats cannot hide the fact that pizzas ultimately do more harm than good to a person's health. A snack like pizza can never be completely removed from the diet. But through conscious effort, pizza consumption can surely be reduced considerably.

Answer:

A

The answer is nearly impossible to believe.

Explanation:

staggering  /ˈstaɡəriNG/  adjective: staggering  deeply shocking; astonishing.

"the staggering bills for maintenance and repair"

The author's use of the word "staggering" in the second paragraph suggests that the number of calories children consume through pizza is nearly impossible to believe. The correct option is A.

The two foods that provide the most saturated fat to the American diet are cheese and pizza. Similar to how saturated fat clogs our heart vessels, as we explained with meat, it also clogs our brain vessels. Increased saturated fat intake has been associated with cognitive impairment, increased stroke risk, and brain inflammation.

For children, adolescents, and adults in America, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes are all on the rise. The diet's high salt and saturated fat content is one of the contributing factors.

There isn't a set amount of calories that every child should consume because children come in a variety of sizes and expend energy (calories) at varying rates. Yet there is a recommended range for the majority of children between the ages of 6 and 12 years old: 1,600 to 2,200 calories a day, depending on how active they are.

Thus, the ideal selection is option A.
