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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
