Difference is pizza has some nutritional value unlike chips but calling it healthy is a stretch. It is still full of grease and sodium so I think the podcast is being too generous with that label.

Skinless hot dogs are a prime example of market efficiency killing quality. You lose the snap of the casing just to save a few cents on production.

Calling pizza a healthy snack is criminal. It is just grease and carbs lol.
