Supreme Court Rules In: Pineapple Belongs On Pizza

Pineapple is the yin to pizza's yang.

Supreme Court Rules In: Pineapple Belongs On Pizza
Huffington Post

Ok! Maybe the Supreme Court hasn't exactly decided to take on my proposition (yet). But they should. As a college student and fellow human, I take pizza very seriously. I would go so far as to say I am a pizza connoisseur. I have a hierarchy of my favorite delivery pizza places dependent on the quality of their coupons (Domino's, obviously) and would give myself a gold medal in pizza topping combinations. With my credentials, I take great offense when people say they don't like pineapple on their pizza. So with that, here are 11 reasons why the anti-pineapple people are wrong:

1. There's actual science behind it.

Modern science has proven beyond a doubt that consumption of vitamin B2, one of the many important nutrients found in pineapple, is critical for improving reaction times. The anti-pineapple people will wish they had that extra B2 when I hit them with these facts.

2. It'll make you skinny.

If you paid attention in your biology class, you’ll know that pineapple is part of a class of foods called “fruits,” and it's these very same “fruits” that top doctors recommend as one of your best weapons in the fight against fat. No bro-science here: a 2010 paper by the International Association for the Study of Obesity found that increased fruit consumption was correlated positively with reduced “adiposity.” That’s science-talk for being fat. If you don’t want to eat your way to being skinny, eat pineapple on your pizza.

3. Everyone thinks it's the correct option.

Just look at a Twitter pole I conducted:


The people don't lie.

4. There may be people who disagree.

But they're lame and wrong.*

5. JUST.


6. LOOK.

7. AT.


8. THIS.

Try and tell me you aren't hungry right now. That's right, you can't.

9. Fruit is the best yin to the savory pizza's yang.

Chefs all over the world enjoy mixing fruits into savory dishes: applesauce on latkas, sweet and sour chicken, PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA, etc. I could go on, but I think I've made my point. Pineapple combines sweetness with a little sour zestiness, making it perfect for pizza. Put it on a pizza without any meat, and the cheesiness wraps around the little chunks of pineapple like a wonderful tiki appetizer.

10. Pineapple Pizza has its own fan page.

What do those haters have? Boring pizzas, that's what.

11. Pineapple pizza lovers are better people.

This may not have scientific evidence behind it, but what kind of animal wouldn't want to indulge in the glory that is pineapple pizzas?

And that's all I have to say on the matter.

*Note: These people are my friends and aren't lame, but they are still wrong.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
