Supreme Court Rules In: Pineapple Belongs On Pizza

Pineapple is the yin to pizza's yang.

Supreme Court Rules In: Pineapple Belongs On Pizza
Huffington Post

Ok! Maybe the Supreme Court hasn't exactly decided to take on my proposition (yet). But they should. As a college student and fellow human, I take pizza very seriously. I would go so far as to say I am a pizza connoisseur. I have a hierarchy of my favorite delivery pizza places dependent on the quality of their coupons (Domino's, obviously) and would give myself a gold medal in pizza topping combinations. With my credentials, I take great offense when people say they don't like pineapple on their pizza. So with that, here are 11 reasons why the anti-pineapple people are wrong:

1. There's actual science behind it.

Modern science has proven beyond a doubt that consumption of vitamin B2, one of the many important nutrients found in pineapple, is critical for improving reaction times. The anti-pineapple people will wish they had that extra B2 when I hit them with these facts.

2. It'll make you skinny.

If you paid attention in your biology class, you’ll know that pineapple is part of a class of foods called “fruits,” and it's these very same “fruits” that top doctors recommend as one of your best weapons in the fight against fat. No bro-science here: a 2010 paper by the International Association for the Study of Obesity found that increased fruit consumption was correlated positively with reduced “adiposity.” That’s science-talk for being fat. If you don’t want to eat your way to being skinny, eat pineapple on your pizza.

3. Everyone thinks it's the correct option.

Just look at a Twitter pole I conducted:


The people don't lie.

4. There may be people who disagree.

But they're lame and wrong.*

5. JUST.


6. LOOK.

7. AT.


8. THIS.

Try and tell me you aren't hungry right now. That's right, you can't.

9. Fruit is the best yin to the savory pizza's yang.

Chefs all over the world enjoy mixing fruits into savory dishes: applesauce on latkas, sweet and sour chicken, PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA, etc. I could go on, but I think I've made my point. Pineapple combines sweetness with a little sour zestiness, making it perfect for pizza. Put it on a pizza without any meat, and the cheesiness wraps around the little chunks of pineapple like a wonderful tiki appetizer.

10. Pineapple Pizza has its own fan page.

What do those haters have? Boring pizzas, that's what.

11. Pineapple pizza lovers are better people.

This may not have scientific evidence behind it, but what kind of animal wouldn't want to indulge in the glory that is pineapple pizzas?

And that's all I have to say on the matter.

*Note: These people are my friends and aren't lame, but they are still wrong.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
