It’s Official: Kids, You’re on Your Own

Pizza Hut sells this in Japan. A less efficient version is sold here.
No love has been lost for the kidlets this week, and the assault on children’s health evidently continues as a Cash (Consensus Action on Salt and Health, yeah) study finds that the typical Pizza Hut meal deal contains four times the maximum recommended daily limit of 3 grams of salt for a child. That is a deal! That’s like the cheapest sodium ever!
Pizza Hut wasn’t the only bloated quick-service villain in the survey, but many of its meals pack enough salt to keep the Titanic afloat, and that is scientifically proven.
Get this: a “Pizza Hut meal deal” for a family of four consists of something called a Cheesy Bites Meat Feast, a medium pizza, garlic bread, potato wedges, chicken wings, and cheesecake, and… wait a tic. How is this grabbing pizza for dinner? This glucose fest is a thing we’re doing now? I thought I knew what to expect from Pizza Hut. Flavorless rubber cheese with orange pools of grease atop chewy cardboard starch. I thought I had it dialed in.
The obvious question: will the desalinization kits come in the color of your choice, or not?

Cheesy Bites Meat Feast . . . ?
The mind boggles.
They put pigs-in-blankets all around the edge of the pizza. …How nauseating.
