On the days your kids dine pizza, they odds-on take in more calories, fat and sodium than on other days, a new den found. On any given day in the United States in 2009-10, one in five young children and nearly one in four teens ate pizza for a food or snack, researchers found.

Powell's team analyzed text from four US National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys from 2003 to 2010. Families of almost 14000 children and teens, old 2 to 19, reported what their kids had eaten in the aforesaid 24 hours.
