You do realize you have been eating processed food all your life, don't you?  Machines making food for us faster and more efficiently started with the industrial revolution and I don't see it stopping anytime soon.  Even the fruits and vegetables we eat are processed by machines in some way as well as the fertilizer and soil used to grow them.

Besides, I like Domino's pizza.  ;D

I can a make a much better pizza at home for about half the price of one of those mechanized versions, Lanty, but hey, if you really want something that'll pass through your digestive system in 30 minutes or less... :)

Uh.not sure what you thought minor ingredients were, but they include salt yeast or baking powder herbs etc. Any of the small quantity ingredients.

So you cant get pukey smiley from only seeing the video unless you prefer nasty water and flour mix only.

Now it can be presumed that chemical additives are included, but that fact was not specifically revealed in the video.

Well CO, as is often the rule and not the exception with factory foods, the product must be formulated to match the process utilized for manufacturing it. ;D

I happen to like chemical additives. I drink Coke, eat Spam, enjoy cheeseburgers from fast-food chains...occasionally all at the same time ;D and, before anyone asks, I actually have sliced Spam and put it on my BK burger :D I reckon that with the ammount of preservatives I consume, I'll be dead for at least 2 years before I start decomposing hehehe

Maybe if you are making a dozen pizzas but for $10, I doubt you could make a homemade pizza to match what the chains put out. Even if you grow your own tomatoes and slaughter your own pigs for pepperoni you can't do it once you figure in what the time is worth, electricity, cost of wear and tear on kitchen appliances, etc. All that goes on Domino's when you buy a pizza from them. All you do is pay for it up front and eat the food. I'm not saying it's the most healthy thing in the world, but it sure beats working a full time job only to come home and work another one just to eat.

LMFAO PD!!! Yeah, that should save your kids, if you're not already sterile, some money for embalming fluid at the funeral parlor, huh? ;D

Where did you get the pepperoni?  If you think how dough is made is bad, wait until you see how sausage is made these days, lol.

I also enjoy making and eating homemade Pizza's. As far as cost go it cost me about 5.00 per pizza in ingredients to make a tasty right out of my oven fresh pizza.

I thought it was interesting that they would not make the dough at each store but I guess they do that for product consistancy.

Next summer I plan on building my outdoor wood fired pizza oven I just haven't decide on which design I am going to use yet.

The pepperoni is Bridgford stick and the sausage is Johnsonville mild Italian, Lanty.

Have you ever seen that Modern Marvels episode on lunchmeat? MMMMM!!! ;D

Who care's?

It's pizza for christ sake.

Does absolutely everything have to be so overly dramatic with you, Pete?
Your day is filled with finding ways to discredit every other politician except Ron Paul and...every other pizza place besides yours. ::)

Go outside, LIVE for Pete's sake!

My all-natural homemade pizza is much cheaper and easier to properly process at the local public wastewater treatment facility as well, Kendall, and falls well within EPA guidelines for heavy metal concentrations and other specific pollutants of concern. {yes}

For example, Kendall, high fructose corn syrup, a.k.a. "corn sugar", which is utilized in almost all processed foods these days including those used by the major corporate pizza chains, just happens to be contaminated with mercury...

Finally, an answer but....

What ever are we to do?

Not only in sugar itself:

but in its prodcution too!

How come we're not dead yet?

Yeah, that's why I thought the whole controversy about McDonalds using the "pink goo" hamburger was so funny. It's exactly how hot dogs, bologna and a lot of other similar processed "meat products" are made and we eat it everyday.

How natural if you are using processed cheese? Processed pepperoni? Did the sauce come in a jar or did you make it yourself? How natural is it if you are using products to make it that contain all the things you are complaining about in Domino's dough?

The second link refers to Indian sugar production. Alrighty then... ::)

Concerning the first link, the Sprecklels division of Amstar is a west coast-based genetically-modified beet sugar refiner, Kendall...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spreckels_Sugar_Company

As we all know, once that heavy metal-laden sludge is concentrated and subsequently deposted on agricultural lands, well, it ain't no wonder mercury and arsenic end up in the sugar beets which is a root crop, BTW. :(

Beet sugar is also commonly used in processed foods due to cost considerations.

I use only pure cane sugar here at home but I appreciate your research!!! ;D

I enjoy a good home made pizza as much as anyone but we usually order it delivered. I prefer Domino's and my wife and mom prefer Pizza Hut. We take turns so I get my favorite every third time, lol.

As far as Pete's link goes. I didn't watch it. I refuse to worry about how my processed foods are made.
