Does the cheese on the pizza at BJ's Brewhouse contain animal rennet, or is it completely vegetarian?
Rennet can be plant rennet, animal rennet, or microbial rennet. A majority of cheeses in the US that have rennet in them have microbial rennet because it is cheaper to produce than animal rennet. Pretty much the only cheeses that have animal rennet are specialty cheeses and imported cheeses from Europe. As long as you stay way from those you should be fine. Although I can't say specifically about that BJs place.
What is your average monthly expenditure (in INR) at IISER Mohali?
It depends on how I wish to spend the month.If I have some shopping to do for special occasions, or if my friends and I eat out more number of times than usual, then it can be slightly higher.But usually, I would say that I spend about 1000–2000 rupees a month, which can be easily brought down to about 500–800 rupees too, if the frequency at which we have food from outside is reduced (which will be, because I'm quite tired from the usual burgers and pizzas and stuff that my friends and I used to order).If one strictly goes to the mess for food, then the only spending outlet is miscellaneous groceries, so 200–500 rupees a month will be more than enough to help you survive at IISER Mohali.Then again, I do have a friend, who can blow through 10,000 rupees, if allowed (till now, he hasn't been, but he has blown through 5000 rupees in 15–20 days, so 10,000 rupees in a month is possible), given the amounts of food he likes to order from outside!Hence, that may give you an idea about the variation of expenditure too.
Why does pizza seem to be the cheat meal of choice for really fit people?
There is no science. Also some of those people probably didn't even eat the pizza. Most people that do that just really love pizza.Here is how it works. You bust your ass off in the gym and follow a strict diet all week, then you can have one cheat meal a week that can be what ever you want. No one ever got fat from just one meal. So many people choose to enjoy pizza
Why are burgers and pizza considered unhealthy even though they have veggies in them? This means they can be healthy, right?
Pizza is one of the most loved and preferred foods. Any casual get-together seems incomplete without this cheesy treat.Pizza can be healthy if you make it the right way, most of the pizza you buy counts as junk food because of the high amount of refined carbohydrates, fat and sodium.Pizza crust is typically made with refined flour, which is flour made from grains that have had their germ and bran removed. This lowers the amount of fiber, vitamins and minerals in the flour, making it less nutritious.The cheese on pizza is high in saturated fat, which increases your risk for high cholesterol and heart disease.Consuming too much sodium could increase your risk for high blood pressure.Home made PizzaCooking your pizza yourself allows you to control the ingredients and make it healthier. Make a whole-grain thin crust and top it with a low-sodium tomato-based sauce along with a small amount of low-fat cheese and a large amount of vegetables. When ordering out, skip the extra cheese and fatty sausage and pepperoni. Instead, ask for a whole-grain thin crust and extra vegetables.Same applies to burger.Juicy burger can be treat for a quick lunch or casual dinner, and you can find a fast-food burger on what seems like every street corner. Despite their deliciousness, however, burgers can contribute to weight gain and have other harmful effects on your health.If you do order a burger, choose the smallest option and order a side salad or fresh fruit cup on the side instead of french fries or another fried item.Source: healthyeating

Why is Chinese McDonald better than the U.S McDonald?
Okay, here is the irony of Chinese McDonald and the U.S McDonald: I'm a Chinese native, and so I have eaten both the U.S McDonald and Chinese McDonald. I'm a very Western-food lover compare to other Chinese. I love burger (especially from McDonald), beef steak, pizza and french food. And for some reason I don't really like Chinese food. Anyway, McDonald was actually invented in the U.S, but then they spread their market worldwide to the other country. In China, McDonald considered to be the most expensive fast-food restaurant, where only rich people can afford to buy it. They usually consider eating McDonald as a "prestige." (I'm going to explain why next). In the U.S., McDonald considered to be crappy, dirty, and unhealthy, they are usually cheaper than any other burger restaurant. In China, McDonald serves the best food in the world because everything are fresh, nicely-prepared and healthy (low sugar, little to unfried, low calories, etc.). And to be honest, I love Chinese McDonald. In the U.S, McDonald has the lowest food quality, the places are dirty, unhealthy, and not delicious than other country's McDonald. I love both American McDonald and Chinese McDonald because they're both delicious. However, if you compare one with another, you'll see Chinese McDonald is way TOO better than the U.S one. My Spanish teacher also said that, in France, they have different menu for McDonald (just like in China). Ironically, Chinese McDonald is expensive than even after you do the dollar-yuan conversation, which mean the cheapest burger you can get in McDonald is around 15 yuan (1 USD = 6 yuan), approximately 3 USD. Anyway, why is that happen? McDonald is invented in the U.S, but they have the better food quality and reputation in other country. Walmart has the same thing happen, Chinese Walmart has everything you need (From food to electricity, to daily-used materials), while some people prefer BJ, Pathmark, Target, K-mart, etc, in the U.S. I have poor grammar, thank you for your appreciation!
What is your favorite chain restaurant in the U.S and what is your order there?
Good question, there are so many… my personal favorite is BJ’s Restaurant and Brewery (Google them, locations all over California and a few other states). They’re best known for their pizzas and beer, but their menu is so full of other items besides those that i can always find something to eat from the menu, picky eater that I am. Last time I was there I had a chicken sandwich that was a new menu item, but usually i go with the tested and tried pepperoni pizza!I also love Cold Stone Creamery, always get chocolate ice cream with chocolate chips mixed in.
