Is pizza a junk food?

披薩是垃圾食品嗎？

Why or why not? It is made of wheat dough and cheese, both natural food items. Why is it still considered a junk food?

它為什么健康又為什么不健康呢？披薩是面團(tuán)和芝士做的，這兩種都是天然食材，但為什么仍被看作垃圾食品呢？

"Junk" is relative. If you run 10 miles and then go out for a slice or two of Pizza (topped with a ton of vegetables), it's probably just what your body needs. If you don't get much if any exercise, order the meat lovers pizza and eat four slices, then it's likely really not what you should be eating.

“垃圾食品”是相對而言的，如果你跑了10英里，然后出去吃了一兩塊披薩（上面多放些蔬菜），這可能正是你身體所需要的。如果你不怎么鍛煉，卻訂肉多的披薩而且還吃了四塊，那可能真就不應(yīng)該了。

Because of that, you have to define "junk" in terms of how you live your life (exercise, general diet, etc.) and how much you eat of it (just a slice or half a pie). For most people in the USA, pizza is really "the worst of the worst".

正因?yàn)槿绱耍阈枰x一下“垃圾食品”的含義，這取決于你的生活方式（鍛煉、日常飲食等），還有你吃了多少（只吃一塊還是半個(gè)披薩）。對大多數(shù)美國人來說，披薩真的是“垃圾中的垃圾”。

Pizza contains a lot of carbohydrates, fat and protein. Consumed in the proper quantities with the right amount of exercise, it really doesn't end up being all that bad for you. But based on American eating habits, physical exercise and how the pizza is prepared, it's most certainly the junkiest of junk foods.

披薩含大量碳水化合物、脂肪和蛋白質(zhì)。適量食用再適當(dāng)鍛煉的話，吃披薩也沒那么多壞處。但美國人的飲食習(xí)慣、鍛煉還有披薩用的食材使披薩成為了最垃圾的食品。

I work in an Italian restaurant where the focus is pizza. We have a good selection of pizzas that come in under 500 calories. We use light mozzarella and a very thin base.

我在一家意大利餐館工作，那兒主要經(jīng)營披薩，我們嚴(yán)選熱量在500卡以下的披薩。我們用馬蘇里拉輕奶酪，餅底也很薄。

The key to pizza not being classed as junk food is the quality and amounts of ingredients plus the way it's cooked. The use of as many fresh ingredients as possible provides a much better pizza experience - It's healthier, it's not as greasy.

披薩不被劃為垃圾食品的關(guān)鍵就在于配料的品質(zhì)和數(shù)量，還有烘焙方法。盡可能多用新鮮食材可以使披薩口味更佳、更健康、也不油膩。

Less is more in this case. There's no point in overloading your pizza, there's just too many flavours mixing together. You can't possibly taste them all. Fewer ingredients ensure a more pleasant, full-bodied taste. Pizzas need to be cooked fast for the best flavour and consistency. If you're using fresh ingredients, flash heating them helps to preserve their nutrient.

對于披薩來說“越少越好”，因?yàn)榕淞戏盘鄾]有任何意義，反而使混合在一起的味道太多，你也不能品好每種味道。少放點(diǎn)配料能保證你吃得更愉快，品嘗到更濃郁的味道。快速烘焙才能獲得最好的味道和粘稠度。如果你用的是新鮮食材，快速加熱有助于保存營養(yǎng)。

What makes it junk is:

披薩不健康的原因：

1. Processed flour instead of natural whole grain flour.

使用精制面粉，而不用天然全麥粉。

2. All of the additives, fillings and preservatives that go into the cheese and meat toppings as well as the tomato sauce.

所有的添加劑、餡料和防腐劑都進(jìn)入奶酪和上面的肉和番茄醬里。

If you make the dough at home with 100% whole grain flour, light cheese and fresh veggies, that's a wholesome meal.

如果你在家用100%全麥粉做面團(tuán)，用輕乳酪和新鮮蔬菜做的話，那就是超健康的美味了。

Real Italian pizza is by no means junk food. It is made with fresh ingredients like tomatoes, olive oil, spices, real mozzarella, and a variety of toppings, mostly vegetables. It is actually a quite healthy meal. The Americanized version of pizza, however, is junk food. Just like any other type of American food.

真正意大利披薩絕對不是垃圾食品，是用番茄、橄欖油、調(diào)料、真正的馬蘇里拉奶酪這樣新鮮的食材做成的。上面放各種配料，以蔬菜為主，真的是很健康的食物。然而美式披薩卻是垃圾食品，就像其他美國食物一樣。
