Big Pizza Fights Obamacare Menu Mandate
Posted by robgambrill 8 years, 8 months ago to Government
I just did the math, if you only allowed 20 toppings and limited the customers choice to 3 toppings or less, you would get 1351 combinations which you would have to calculate nutritional value figures for. That would be a large number of selections to hang on the wall.
(uh, n=number of toppings, k= toppings chosen, n!/(k!(n-k)!) for 3,2,1 and no toppings, so for the (20 3) example I got 1351 distinct pizza pies)
Most places offer way more than 20 topping choices and do not limit the number of toppings, so the number of distinct pizzas grows pretty big, pretty fast.
This part of Obamacare seems to be just as clueless as the rest.
FYI: This website lists approximately 102 pizza toppings http://www.recipepizza.com/toppings, oddly it skips pineapple which I see offered at a lot of places.

(In the unlikely event that you haven't realized it yet, pizza and I get along famously.)
