Wanna bet it doesn't taste as good
Laurie? lol
Interesting on another note also,
when I was in management at Domino's in Louisiana alittle tidbit that I found
surprising in their nutrition pamplet listing the nutrition values of their
pizzas. Surprisingly ( for Domino's at least ) the thin crust had more calories
etc than the hand tossed. I would have figured just the oppissite seeing as the
hand tossed has more dough. Something about the way it's made I guess. If the
same holds true for the other chains, surpriseing Pizza Hut is only offering the
lower fat version in thin crust.

DALLAS - To
the menu of zero-calorie Slurpees and low-carbohydrate margaritas,
diet-conscious Americans can now add lower-fat pizza.
Pizza Hut, the
Dallas-based restaurant chain, plans to offer the "Fit 'N Delicious" pie at
most of their 6,600 U.S. locations by the end of the month.
One slice
of the slimmed-down version will have 3.5 to 5 grams of fat, 25 percent less
than a slice of the company's regular thin-crust pizza.
The new pizza
will be available only on thin crust. It can be ordered with chicken or ham -
no sausage or pepperoni - and two vegetable toppings.
Pizza Hut is
simply responding to changing consumer tastes and desire for healthier food
alternatives, said President Peter Hearl.
"Moms are looking to provide
for themselves or their family less-fat food options," Hearl said in an
interview. "They're not prepared to give up on taste, but if they can get
great taste and lose fat grams, that's a winning combination."
A
nutritionist reacted to the announcement with cautious approval.
"Pizza
can be healthy, if you eat one or two slices of cheese pizza," said Gay Riley.
"We eat too much fat, and we get too many saturated fats from dairy and meat.
When they come up with a pizza with Omega 3 (from fish), that would be
awesome."
