Some years ago a friend took early retirement from her job in a large corporate organisation.
She got bored, and having a motorbike in the garage, she decided to get a job as a pizza delivery girl. Living right on the edge of London, and with fields all around, she was given the "long runs" which were costing the firm a lot of late delivery charges. Her bike matched her gun-metal coloured leathers and was a little more powerful that the average used by the kids - a Kawasaki 1100!!! No more late deliveries and some very bemused customers. (I don't think all her delivery runs were at "legal" speeds....)

Rural areas? I can't get anything food delivered out here. I have to go to them. For pizza it is a 20 to 25 minute drive doing 65 mph 3/4th of the way there.

Drone deliveries someday?

And here's a drone looking for pizza... Snoopy look out!

Little Caesars, Pizza Hutt, Domino's, Round Table, and Red Baron's, are all in Barstow, no delivery from any listed in this post, you go and fetch it yourself.
I may as well use some gas, and bake one Myself, at least I can still cook.

Pizza Hut?
Well if you want to eat gassy food.
Burp:(

Anti gas pills work if one needs them. I've got a small supply.

So you need drugs to be capable eating food in the US?
What has the FDA has to say about that?
Just kidding.
The "Drug" part in FDA regulations is the norm even in the EU.
Been there. Read that in manufacturing drugs...

Yeah, I suppose if you live in a rural place, the selection will be slim.

Red Baron doesn't exist around here except in the grocery store freezer. Don't even know Round Table.

We're getting a Candy store and gas station soon w/26 pumps at Calico Rd, if one has a Tesla one can get a charge there too.

Rumor said Starbucks, Me I'd rather have Domino's, the Subway is down in the Shell station at Ghost Town Rd, as is the Dairy Queen, the Shell station is popular, but not for the gasoline.

You are right, small places for

The stuff from the chains is processed chemistry.

Dang, I'm hungry but a Big D Special is going to have too many carbs.

Little Sleazers is pizza in name only. It's crap.

I use Pizza Hut as my basis for comparison, not because it's good, but because it's a familiar and fairly consistent baseline. Almost every national chain falls below it. For decent pizza, you need to go to an independent joint or maybe a small local chain.

I buy frozen pizzas, sometimes the cheapest thing there is and sometimes a little better, and enhance it with more cheese (mostly mozzarella but also some provolone and a little fresh-in-a-little-ziptop-bag (as opposed to the dry stuff in the can) parmesan. I also add some meat, usually bacon (American, from the belly) and more sausage. I don't go for veggies except occasionally onion (if I plan to be home the next day) and never anything that lived in the water -- I had one small piece of shrimp pizza once and vowed never again. Bacon really needs to be precooked; the rest of the pizza will burn before raw bacon cooks, and it adds a lot of grease.

I won't even (for the moment) get into the whole Chicago deep dish thing.

California Hunger Action Day is Wednesday May 24, 2017. On this day, advocates from around California come to the capitol in Sacramento to talk to our legislators about hunger and to support legislation and a fair state budget that addresses hunger and poverty.

You can be a part of Hunger Action Day even if you can't join us in Sacramento. Email your state representatives and ask them to support anti-hunger legislation and budget initiatives that will be before them within the next few weeks.

Our anti-hunger priorities this year include:

* Responding to hunger & poverty among low-income seniors and people living with disabilities by increasing SSI/SSP grants.

* Passing a fair state budget that addresses hunger & poverty.

* Support an ongoing investment in CalFood, California's emergency food program, which allows food banks to purchase California-grown produce for distribution to pantries and meal programs across the state.

It is a good job America has Berkeley. All the FDA needs to do is milk a few cows and send a pint to any University lab and I suspect they would know exactly the levels of antibiotics and hormones and mastitis \ puss and blood in their product.

I don't know about that.
Do you know how many are checking bottled water quality in the US?
Yes, One!

I may be wrong but I suspect the allowable (and accepted) percentage of hormones and mastitis puss in milk (cheese) is far higher in America.

The Food and Drug Administration, the FDA, does not know how antibiotics are used in farms. The agency collects data on sales and distribution but has not been able to check practical use or how much doses are given and how long an animal is eating antibiotics.

I don't know about the FDA. I do know there are differences between America and the EU (and sepratist UK) around milk.

Even in England every so often you can taste the bovine in our milk even though it is pasteurised and probably a little more controlled.

Personally I am looking forward to the off chance that I might become a mad cow..

I can go rolling my eyes and fall around in fields. Most of the food companies and politicians will say I'm far better than normal and then give the owner of my field extra money to come paint the grass even greener...

(A number of years ago a royal came to visit my city and the nut bags at the top actually ordered the painting of various grass areas green... ;/ )

As to recipies and milk. I loved Junket as a child but it's a pain to make as a vegetarian.
