Worst Foods, Pizza

                      
Yes, Pizza Hut, known for their delicious cheese crust pizza, is the worst in the market. Pizza Hut is actually the world's largest user of cheese, I could assume with all their best selling pizza being the ones with the cheese crust. They have the worst pizza compared to other top pizza restaurants such as Dominoes, Papa John's, and ofcourse Little Caesar's. Only with their regular one slice, it contains 390 calories whereas Little Caesar's slice has 200 calories. Pizza Hut is the highest in all of the most important nutrition facts such as calories, saturated fat, and sodium.

I have tasted Pizza Hut but I have to admit that I have not eaten there in a while; therefore, my research is not that updated but I will however research it now. Pizza Hut, as I remember does have the most flavorable pizza ever. I dont really know if I am being bias now knowing that it contains so much salt but I do remember Pizza Hut's pizza being deliciously salty. I could only imagine that not many people disagree since they are the world's biggest user of cheese.

Healthy Foods, Pizza

 
 I came across a website that compared most fast foods in fast food restaurants. Fries, burgers, buns, pizza, bread sticks, meats were some of the things in the chart. One of the things that really interested me was the pizza. The healthiest restaurant that are known for their pizza is Little Caesar's. I personally love this restaurant because of their amazing prices. Coming across this article makes me like them more because they are not only the cheapest pizza, five dollars for a cheese or pepperoni pie, but it is also the healthiest compared to others.

This weekend I had eaten both Dominoes pizza, pepperoni, and the following day Little Caesar's pizza, cheese. I could obviously taste the difference and found it surprising that Little Caesar's has the better pizza and break sticks than Dominoes, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, etc. While Dominoes pizza was delicious and mouth watering, as well was the pizza from Little Caesar's. The thing that I noticed was the difference in the pizza sauce. In Little Caesar's the sauce tasted not as good, even though it was good, and it did not have as much flavor as the Dominoes. Little Caesar's is very cheap and delicious, I guess you can say that you pay for a greater value, even though their sauce is not as good, that part can go under the saying "You get what you paid for." Now knowing that they are the healthiest, I will recommend them more.

Many people, surprisingly do not know of Little Caesar's and something tells me that if more people know about it, they will lose their healthy name. Majority of the unhealthy fast food restaurants are popular and they are not healthy because they are looking for a fast and cheap way out, this is unhealthy. Little Caesar's is not as popular as other top pizza restaurants. They are healthy and they are also very cheap and I assume that if they became a top pizza restaurant, they will become more expensive and put more unhealthy ingredients to make more and bigger pizzas in little time and fall into the category as other fast food restaurants.For the next few weeks, I will be researching about the healthiest fast food and comparing it to top fast food restaurants by ingredients, taste, and price.

Problem Processing

Kids are balancing school and work. Its very tough because kids go to school, go to work, come home late to do their work or sometimes are even too tired to do their homework, go to sleep, and wake up to start the routine again. It is a problem because more and more teenagers are dropping out of school at an early age and not working on a future that can provide them permanently.
"They stay at their jobs late into the night, neglect their homework, and come to school exhausted. In Colorado, kids can drop out of school at the age of sixteen."

I can relate to this problem because I have friends who balance school and work, its hard. I was looking for a job myself and looking at how things are going in college, I don't think I will be able to work. My brother dropped out of college to work and has had the same job ever since. He works in a supermarket, has a horrible schedule, and doesn't not have time to spend with his wife.
There wasnt really any solutions to the problem, if they could not keep up with the job, they would just get fired. The solution that I think has been successful helped teenagers and adults who work and to go to school. And that is night school. Its something but it is very tiring. I don't think there could be another solution. People are able to manage school and work and those who can't have tough times.

My Trip to Wendy's Edited Version

I open the door and politely wait for satisfied customers exit
before I enter. I walk in towards the long waiting line that 
curves around four times. I could hear some people ordering their
food and people having conversations about what they are going to 
order. Waiting for the line, look to my left and I notice the logo, 
a red headed girl with two pony tails on each side and freckles on 
her cheeks, and a colorful menu with pictures of food that helps me 
decide what I want to order. More and more steps closer till its my 
turn. "Next" is my cue. I say my order, hand a couple bucks and watch 
the young lady press buttons all over the machine. I hear the  sound 
of coins that falls right infront of me. I look below the cash register 
and my change is ready to be picked up and a hand before me with cash 
and a receipt. Wait for a minute or two and I receive a plastic 
black tray with food and a drink.
 
I sit down, grab the spongy sandwich, open the wrapper. I could 
smell the spiciness. I take a few bites and feel the sauce drip
on the corner of my mouth, I could taste the onions right off the 
back, I grab my drink and sip a few sips. I'm almost done, feel my 
tummy, know that I'm full. Stand up, pick up the tray and my stuff, 
head over to the garbage can, tilt the tray, watch the food fall 
into the rest of the garbage, stack the tray on the top, and be on 
my way. I feel satified and a little guilty.

Pepsi Throwback

Yesterday, I attended a church event near my house. They had a few activities like bingo and dancing. There was so much free food. I was eating a plate of spaghetti with meatballs, some pork, white rice, and come potato salad and drinking a cup of Pepsi soda. They had the sodas on the table and also Sunny Delight. I was speaking to my friend when she said that she was going to get a better pepsi because the one I was drinking was just a "bottle of fructose and corn syrup". She came back to the table with an unusual two liter Pepsi with a white background, still blue letters and a yellow banner part on the bottom of the Pepsi that wrote "Made with Real Sugar Limited Time Only" I don't know how long exactly this has been out for, but it's the first time I have ever seen this. I was very interesting in how it said "Limited Time Only" because the reason why they don't make this permanent is because real sugar apparently costs more money. I then took a regular pepsi and put them side to side to see the difference on the nutrition facts. If you look at the pictures below, you can see the difference yourselves:
 Please notice that the regular Pepsi is from a can and the Throwback is a bottle, but there are still some great differences even if they were both bottles or cans. What you can notice right off the back is the ingredients.
