To think this is a healthy pizza!?

[TheBreezeTheBreeze]

It's from MarksandSparks, to be split in two and shared with a sardine salad. Will add pic with a screenshot of ingredients.

SIL shook her head at it when shopping with me and said it was franken-food. I don't think it's so bad at all, if your'e not jumpy about seed oil. It's lovely with healthy toppings of your own added to it.
Not as good as homemade, but once a week isn't going to murder anyone surely??

How far do we take this UPF thing?

Dunno about the pizza but sardine salad 🤢

just ignore your sil ( What does she eat?) and enjoy it

Franken-food 😂I bet she's fun at parties.

It's all about balance. People are nuts.

She’s nuts.

That's probably one of the healthiest pizzas you can buy and really very little difference in ingredients if you made it yourself. We always get M&S pizzas. Cheaper and healthier than a takeaway when you can't be bothered cooking.

Oh not the salad for me but the pizza is fine, it is bread that some people think is the actual devil, ignore her food is about balance, people who obsess about food have their own issues.

An M&S pizza isn't any less good or bad than any other shop bought pizza. So I wouldn't be swayed by that.

But, equally, a shop bought pizza once a week isn't going to kill anyone.

She eats super healthy from scratch, lol, however I do achieve about 80% myself so not too shabby all in all.

It is high in sat fat and salt but cut in half over two days or shared reduces that.
Also love it with rocket, garlic, olives and other goodies.

Tell her it would be franken-food if the dough was only slow fermented for 29 hours, but it's fine because it says 30.

And buy some franken-furters to really tip her over the edge

It's absolutely fine. The whole thing has 400 calories. It is not full of UPF. Some people are too thick to be able to differentiate between a pizza like this and a stuffed crust domino's. Sounds like your SIL is one of those people.

Ah, this is one of the only store breads that doesn't give me gas! I think that's one of the reasons I love it.

Pizza is absolutely fine tell me more about your sardine salad......

She actually called it FRANKEN-CHOW which got a laugh out of me at least.

She's lovely in all other ways, just a bit 'on it' with food.

Text her our pizza was delicious 😋 honestly people who go on about food choices of others are really dull.

Just a tin of our faves from SeaCastle.
Drain the oil then mix with lemon and chopped baby peppers. Mixed with rocket or spinach leaves, olives, pine nuts, and some crumbled feta (if not eating with pizza!).

Franken-nuts 😀🧌🥜

This sounds amazing.
Thank you

Needs pineapple 😀🍍

The pizza is fine, not with sardines though

Is it the seed oil she's particularly concerned about. There's been a lot of stuff doing the rounds about the dangers of it to our health. Unfortunately it's everywhere

It’s not UPF so she needn’t worry. If she’s so invested in that way of eating she should easily be able to tell that by looking at the ingredients.

I think she was referring to it being in a packet

and seed oil.

YABU. Ingredients list longer than your arm for something that needs about six ingredients tops!

I've never been able to find anything solid about these oils.
Most health bodies say they are fine, reduce heart disease etc, but I am not an expert. Not sure why they'd lie to us. I suppose I'd believe the BHF before some grifter on youtube. God only knows!

TBH i think it is as long as my leg, not my arm, so you could be right!

Let's see: I'd need the dough, water, salt, yeast, 30 hrs to ferment. Then I'd need tomato and passata, grated regato, mozzarella, pesto (so add basil, oil, garlic, lemon, salt, pine nuts), puree, herbs.

Bit more than 6 ingredients to make at home...
