Couples eating dominos

Why do some people think its gross when fat couples regurley eat dominos pizza?

Hello! NT here.
NT society is overly obsessed with the size and shape of people's bodies, and the current fashion is for slim, athletic-looking bodies.
Some people equate being fat with being lazy or unhealthy or unattractive, so they see the person who is fat as all those things too.
Dominos pizza is seen as "junk food" with a lot of fat and high calories which some people believe is what makes people become fat.
Therefore, to some people eating Dominos Pizza = eating junk that will make you fat = choosing food to make you fat = choosing to be lazy or unhealthy or unattractive = gross

It's utter nonsense to me, but it's an unfortunate part of NT culture

Hey, dominoes may be hard to chew and digest, but they have no carbs or fat to make you put on weight

People don't usually at AT Domino's Pizza.

Pizza is usually delivered to homes from Domino's Pizza locales.

I don't care for their pizza myself.

It's not my business what other people eat so I don't think anything of it. I'd rather my potential boyfriend and I bring our own lunch and go on a picnic outside than go to a pizza restaurant though.

I prefer places that have Chicago-style deep dish.

I bake my own pizza at home. Two medium sized pizzas.

3 cups bread flour.
1 tsp yeast
Light dusting of salt (to taste, but not too much. Kills yeast)
Enough canola oil to make the flour feel a little moist. Not too much. No, I don’t measure.
Just enough water that dough is kinda squishy but not sticky. This is the tricky part, and I rarely get it exactly right. But at least if it’s too wet you can always add a little flour at a time until you get it just right.

Knead until all ingredients are evenly mixed and dough feels smooth.

No, I don’t proof the yeast. Mix and knead.

I divide the dough ball into two equal parts and knead both one last time.

Then I roll the balls out on a round pizza stone until the stone is covered. Then I transfer one to a metal pizza pan and leave the other on the stone. Let rise AT LEAST 3 hours.

I don’t grease my pans. I don’t dust with flour. I bake one for 5 min on low rack, 425 F. Take that out, put the other in. 5 min while I add pepperoni, pasta sauce, and cheese. Put that one on top rack for 5 min, dress the other pizza. 1st pizza comes out. 2nd goes in. 5 min later supper is ready.

This way we have one soft crust pizza and one crispy pizza. There’s no more oil than absolutely necessary, and we avoid excessively greasy meats. It’s not quite as rich tasting as Domino’s or others, but my wife and kids LOVE it. They like it better, in fact. And the recipe is super simple (note how I only measure certain ingredients and just eyeball or “feel” the rest).

Just something to think about. It HAS to be healthier, at least. A superior crust probably would do better with coconut oil or lard, just saying. BUT the big difference there is canola has healthier fats than coconut or lard or shortening. We use a thick, store-bought pasta sauce instead of the usual pizza sauce, so between that and the ‘roni, that’s where you’re gonna get the bad chemicals/preservatives, but even that’s minimal compared to your pizza pickup/delivery joints.

Back in college I knew how to get the cheapest pizza in town. That stuff would last for weeks in an open box on the floor under my bed. I’d be, like, ok, where are my socks? Oh, look...PIZZA! How long has that been there? Oh well, I’m hungry. It’s good to know that you can keep mold and bacteria off food for that length of time. But, then again, you have to think about it. If the chemicals in it are so powerful it can’t mold, what’s it doing to my body? If I’d died back then, I wonder if it would have made the embalmer’s job easier. 100 years, the body is STILL in perfect shape. How’d he do it? He ate a lot of pizza!

When I read the title of this thread, I imagined a couple eating the dominoes that they were playing with.

I don't know why people think pizza is unhealthy or makes you fat. It's just bread, cheese, tomato sauce and meat...
The only problem with pizza is that one pizza is usually 1500-2000 calories depending on size, so one pizza can easily be your whole day worth of calories. So if you eat a big breakfast, a big lunch and then a whole pizza for dinner, you're gonna end up in a calorie surplus.

I eat pizza quite frequently and I'm ripped.

I've never eaten Dominos' Pizza, but from what I heard it's barely edible, so I'm not eager to try it.

Pizza gets a bad rap for being junk food. I guess just because it tastes good. But it's one of the few foods that contains something from all four food groups. It depends on how it's prepared, though.
