  • That leaves out when the company prompting you charges an administration fee to collect part of that sum donated for their own profits.

    It leaves out when they, like CVS did with the diabetes association charity collecting at checkouts, take the money as an IOU to the charity while making money out to offset loans in the near term.

    It leaves out structuring of collected funds to allow a 503C arm of the corporation to have tax advantaged status while also specifically being chartered to help the for profit company that you are shopping at.

    There are a variety of scummy practices employed by organizations collecting those funds and it absolutely can benefit them to do so.


  • Yes.

    Just this month I was there and the pizza is a different concept there to be sure.

    Street pizzas of thinly sliced zucchini or potato covering bread rounds with olive oil. That’s pizza in Rome.

    Focaccia bread like crust with some anchovies and potatoe? Pizza.

    Neapolitan style is just a different style again, but the theme is dough is not the delivery agent, it is the primary purpose. The dough is the important bit, with toppings being intended to enhance subtle flavors for it.

    Italian pizza is most similar in American expectations of food typically found there, to flatbread dishes. It’s flatbread with some stuff on top to accent it. There is no cheese on most of the pizza I had in the various parts of Italy I was in. Cheese was not an expected component. Healthy or at least flavorful variations on additions to the dough are the goal.

    Whether you are in Sardinia, Calabria, or Rome; pizza is pizza dough with local additives.

    I have seen French fries on top of pizza in Sardinia, and this was called there “American pizza” :)
