your pizza habit might be killing you slowly

It's not just one slice of cheese pizza (300 calories) that's the problem. It's the reality: most teens eat 2-3 slices plus soda, turning lunch into a 750-1150 calorie bomb—over half your daily needs in one meal. Those excess calories become fat, which contributes to diabetes, hypertension, and arthritis. The domino effect continues: heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, and amputations follow. This isn't fear-mongering—it's the standard progression when consistently consuming more calories than your body needs.
