Because expensive pizza has fewer calories

March 10, 2010

Stupid science:

U.S. researchers estimate that an 18 percent tax on pizza and soda can push down U.S. adults’ calorie intake enough to lower their average weight by 5 pounds (2 kg) per year.

Yes, without pizza, people would instinctively switch to carrots and mineral water, instead of, say, burgers and beer.
