NOT a good thing to admit in a cooking forum!

Anything breaded along with deep fried is generally the worst. Modern wheat introduced into the food supply in the mid 1980's has destroyed the US healthcare system due to the obesity epidemic.

Well I disagree with that statement for my particular metabolism and lifestyle.
I eat what I want but limit my portions. I'm active. Carbs are not the enemy.

Unhealthy is subjective

I’ve subscribed to the theory meats and fats are healthy but sugars and carbs are the real food demons .. sugars lead to obesity.. that has overtaken smoking as one of the top killers
And sugars feed cancers


If meat and fats are unhealthy, I should be gone a long time ago- I’m closing in on 60 and don’t Even have an allergy.. healthy as a horse.. ( eat minimal vegetables)
But … have tried my best to drop sweets.
My dr. Said keep doing what I’m doing)

Pizza isn’t bad … I’d be more concerned with the carbs than meat and olive oils

Mc chicken … the meat may be healthy but you’ve got carbs for coating and of course the buns

Do some people really buy a pizza consisting of only dough, tomato sauce and cheese?
Lol, yes, well with seasonings, of course. That is the basis of what pizza is. Sometimes a plain cheese slice just hits the spot.

Healthiest: chicken fried rice.
Next: the mcChicken, but without the fries.
Worst: cheese pizza. no one ever has it without some other topping, so it is going to have some other topping say pepperoni and be floating in grease.

pizza from an italian restaurant is also not fast food.
What? you're kidding. People eat plain cheese pies all the time! And yes, it can be fast food if you're on the go. Run in, get a slice to go, have it on the passenger seat while you drive. Great car food.

You can keep the pepperoni. My favorite topping is mushrooms, although my ex used to like onions on pizza, which is surprisingly tasty.

My friend and I will occasionally get a Friday night pie with spinach, artichokes, mushrooms, and roasted red pepper. We both end up with leftovers.

It is true that there are differences among individuals and groups.

To me the Mc Chow is the worst, they usually put High Fructose Corn Syrup in everything they make, I have quit eating at the Golden Arches for decades and I don't miss it.

The Chinese and Pizza options are not as standardized. High quality versions of either can be quite good and healthy. But the typical chain fast food pizza is not all that good. You guys in the Northeast have some excellent pizza options that are not usually found in the rest of the country.
