Should it be on the menu ?

An interesting article from Jay Rayner from the weekend's papers will be hitting Year 7 classrooms next week.
I have a copy of Jay's book on food, and this article is apparently a new chapter... and very much in keeping with the rest of the book.

It describes the background to the launch, by Pizza Hut of a huge pizza which contains ten cheeseburgers in its crust. The pizza contains more calories than the recommended daily intake for an adult, and also large amounts of fat. I would imagine this is not intended to be eaten by one person... though it might be...

We will explore the issues that Jay touches on in the article.
These include Food security, food miles, food waste, the role of supermarkets and the impact of our diets on health and obesity, including the rapid growth of type-2 diabetes cases in China, for example.
Should this Pizza be on the menu ?
You can help decide...
