Answer 1

Pizza has lots of cheese – cheese has lots of salt.

The meat on pizza tends to be things like pepperoni, which aren’t just meat. They also have lots of salt.

Bread is carbs, and too much carbs is bad.

The veggies tend to be relatively few and scattered.

The sauce tends to have both lots of salt and quite a bit of added sugar.
