A similar line of products are the dozens (or hundreds) of "diet chocolate" snacks and desserts. I am not arguing against pizza for people trying to eat better, but against bacon-alfredo pizza. Maybe it's better to gradually modify one's tastes so that a pizza doesn't need bacon and alfredo sauce to sound appetizing. But since I am trying to lose some weight myself, you can feel free to file my advice in the trash can.

I am a nutrition conscious college student. Most of my meals are homemade and consist of whole grains, tons of vegetables, eggs, a little bit of meat, and low amounts of cheese. However, after I go out for a night of drinking, I come home to this pizza rather than ordering a fatty, unhealthy pizza. Sometimes I also eat it for lunch or dinner. It is delicious. I find it amusing you wrote a review of a product while admitting that you had no idea what it would taste like. Even if I wasn't nutrition conscious, this pizza could help me get there. Some people need veggies snuck in a subtle way (the spinach) in order to eat them. My view it... it is better than no veggies! It is telling the person; you can have cheese, you can have bacon, you can even have alfredo and lose weight! The trick is portions, sneaking in vegetables, and whole grains. By eating this pizza, rather than your typical bacon pizza, the person is relearning appropriate portions sizes. Why are you so angry at a pizza? I am a nutrition conscious college student.
