        pizza is not a health food, but when compared with a quickly poured bowl of sugar flakes, it’s a more balanced meal.

        Just use oat flakes, some fruit, some nuts, there is your more healthy alternative.

        OTOH, if you compare sugar flakes with a vegetable pizza, with whole grain base, lots of veggies, and not so much cheese, pizza wins

          One must admit that oats, fruit and some nuts is not a breakfast cereal

          Dairy fats are not unhealthy either, which is where most of the energy intake comes from in the pizza. Plus you don’t even need a vegetable pizza to beat what’s essentially sugar for breakfast

            I don’t know where you’re coming from on this planet, but in my environment oats, fruit, and nuts were very much breakfast cereals since my childhood. So one can disagree, but two agrees.

            You fill this with some type of milk (plant or dairy), but water also does the job or yogurt.

            My point is just that it’s a stupid claim to say pizza is better if you stay unspecific about what you’re eating, really.

              This is universally breakfast cereal, this is the comparison point

              If you’re going to start talking about nuts and fruit, that’s something entirely separate

                That is cereal, yes, but it’s not exclusively cereal. Oat and nuts and fruit, even oatmeal and hot porridges are cereal - in fact my grocery store labels this section “hot cereals.”
