" As the saying goes, pizza is like sex. Even if it&amp;#039;s bad, it&amp;#039;s still pizza. And just like sex, there are people out there addicted to pizza.  Meet Dan Janssen, a Maryland man who has gained a minor level of fame for eating pizza every day for 25 years. In a mini-documentary produced by Vice, Janssen talks about the repercussions of his oddball diet. Here are five key lessons.      Pizza obsession is deeper than just a food preference.Janssen says his picky diet likely stems from a few traumatic experiences as a kid, and he&amp;#039;s working with a therapist to figure out his food aversion. Combine that with a vegetarian diet and a simultaneous hatred for vegetables, and you get his insistence on only eating plain cheese pizza every day. But a weird diet won&amp;#039;t stop you from finding love.The documentary introduces us to Janssen&amp;#039;s saintly fianc\u00E9e, who puts up with his pizza diet \u2013 but certainly doesn&amp;#039;t like it. She encourages him to diversify his diet for the good of his health. She&amp;#039;s now convinced him to drink a healthy smoothie every day for breakfast. It will, however, make you Internet famous.After a Vice article introduced him to the world, he&amp;#039;s been bombarded with emails, spokesperson offers and interview requests. He&amp;#039;s been dubbed the Pizza King and a &amp;quot;hero&amp;quot; to gluttons around the world. A pizza-centric diet might not kill you. At least not quickly.Janssen, who has diabetes, insists his diet doesn&amp;#039;t affect his disease and that doctors have given him a clean bill of health. His fianc\u00E9e is skeptical. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re all gonna die,&amp;quot; Janssen says. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m gonna die with pizza in my stomach.&amp;quot; You should probably still eat vegetables, though.Janssen says he almost never touches veggies, but once ate a pizza with mushrooms on it, and it was OK. &amp;quot;But why would I eat a carrot when I could eat a pizza?&amp;quot; he said in an interview. Medical professionals can likely come up with a few reasons. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
