The topic of pineapple pizza, and whether it belongs on pizza, has been the topic of centuries. One third of all americans believe that pineapples belong on pizza, and almost one third of Americans are illiterate or undereducated. Coincidence? I think not. Although people say that pineapples belong on pizza because it’s healthy, there is a balance of flavours, and because people enjoy it, these people are wrong.…

In assignment two, the multimedia evaluation, I categorized pizza, a notorious “junk food”, as a nutrient-rich food. I strategically organized my video, beginning with an attention-grabbing introduction, establishing three criteria, and ending with a call-to-action conclusion.

It was impossible to just eat one.…
