Baltimore, MD (August 16, 2007) – Joe Corbi’s one of the nation’s largest food fundraising companies today announced that placing pizza at the center of a meal is a great beginning (foundation) for good nutrition. Joe Corbi's understands calorie and other nutrition concerns. Home cooks will find it helpful that Joe Corbi's original pizza kits are portioned into serving sizes that range from 200 calories per piece to 280 calories per piece. Each pizza kit includes calorie and other nutrition information for the complete pizza and for individual components on the nutrition label. Our pizzas are also naturally TRANS FAT FREE. This information is also available on their website. This puts the power to plan a healthful meal into the hands of the home cook as pizza is a healthy fit with My Pyramid!
Joe Corbi's pizza makers know the United States is experiencing a child obesity crisis. Health experts advise families, schools and others concerned about this situation to use a multi-component strategy to correct the problem; families are advised to practice healthful, balanced eating, increase physical activity, and learn more about health and nutrition. For almost 15 years now Joe Corbi’s has offered a line of Whole Wheat Pizza Kits with Reduced Fat Cheese.
Some people say that pizza is the perfect food. Who are we to argue? With nutritious toppings, Corbi’s Honeycomb crust and our slimming sauce, pizza makes a well-balanced meal. Using pizza as a platform can provide your diet with grain from the crust; tomato sauce, which can count as your vegetable; and cheese, which is your dairy; and protein in many toppings. There’s simply no limit to how creative you can get with it and still keep it healthy. Adding toppings like mushrooms, peppers, onions and any other veggie option. And lean meats like chicken and canadian bacon make for a healthier protein option. You can even add fruit and make a hawaiin pizza with Pineapple and Canadian Bacon.
In alignment with our announcement we have created a contest to create the healthiest Pizza. Won’t you share your favorite pizza? Submit your guilt-free recipes to our “Corbi’s Lifestyle Pizza Contest,” and you just might win! Visit our website for more details.
