Pizza wasn’t always the world’s favorite food, it was once believed to be poisonous. In the 1700s, wealthy Europeans thought tomatoes were toxic because the lead from their pewter plates would mix with the tomato’s acidity, making people sick. For centuries, pizza was only eaten by poor peasants in Naples. But in 1889, Queen Margherita of Italy tried a simple pizza topped with tomato, mozzarella, and basil, and loved it. That one meal made pizza famous and inspired the legendary Margherita pizza we know today.

  1. to be clear, it was the petter plate of lead (as mentioned)that was poisonous, its slow acting and builds up over time so it took a long time for people to realise it was the lead(it pretends to be calcium lol)

  2. Queen Margarita looked a lot like Princess Margaret when she was in her younger days. She was the sister of Queen elizabeth ll of UK

  3. Pizza was considered poisonous because of tomatoes…. So they still made it with tomatoes? I can’t with this ai garbage.

  4. Pizza is still not healthy to eat – it's just it's harmful impact is so slow you don't notice it – until – after many years of eating the wrong types of food you develop metabolic syndromes – type 2 diabetes, cancer, dementia, fatty liver disease etc etc

  5. Shes named after a pizza? Omg, that might be the most "queen of the people" ever.
    Also, thats my favorite pizza in all of italy 😂

  6. Funny things is this shorts is almost word to word level identical to the previous two I've been watched. Must be a coincident 💀

  7. The only thing more cooked than this pizza is the braindead who watch these AI created shorts and think it's educational.

  8. I can't eat pizza anymore, cuz I now have celiacs disease, a switch that turned on in my body some how, which forced me to leave America, cuz Americans put 90% of their food with gluten. And if I eat a sandwich, it will literally eventually unalive me. Live in Asia where they rarely eat gluten and breads. And life is better. Gluten free pizza is real but it just isn't as good as the original pizza and never will compare.
