Deep Threat

Uno, which calls itself "The Original Chicago Pizzeria", now sells its Deep Dish Pepperoni Pizza in supermarket refrigerator cases nationwide.  Lucky you.  Now you can tuck into a slice of pizza that delivers 410 calories and 8 grams of sat fat - 40 % of a day's worth - and never have to get off your couch. And you don't have to pay extra for the 860 mg of sodium that makes Uno's a double whammy to your arteries. The catch is that many people will not stop after one slice. The numbers on the package are for the government's 5 oz serving size, which might apply to some children under 8 and some women over 80.  But most people are likely to polish off at least half a pie. that brings the damage to 1030 calories and 20 grams of sat fat seasoned with 2150 mg of sodium.  It is almost like having 2 Big Macs . . . make that 4 if you finish off the whole pie.  Deep dish pizzas are always more of a load on your body parts than thin crust. But with Uno's pizzas, your coronary arteries are in deep mozzarella, tooooo. Choose wisely, live well.
