This morning on Twitter, our main main Patrick Stewart asked us all to consider the reality of pizza, pizza crust and pizza consumption when he posed the question: Have you actually eaten pizza if you don’t eat the crust?
Have you actually eaten pizza if you don't eat the crust? Discuss. pic.twitter.com/thKoTpIP2i

The responses span the spectrum, from the practical:
@SirPatStew course you have eaten it, you just haven't finished it 😃
— StockothePiercer (@MickStocko) May 28, 2015
To the matter-of-fact:
@SirPatStew no.

To the selfless defense:
@SirPatStew If one eats the crusts oneself, what is there to share with the canine family members?

To the creative dieter:
@sirpatstew Nope, and therefore it is calorie-free
— Matthew Mears (@matt_mears) May 28, 2015
To outright demands:
@SirPatStew Get that crust eaten, young man.

And back around to another question:
@SirPatStew of course! I never eat the crust. Unless it's filled with cheese. But then is it really crust?

Though this is not the first time culture has encountered deep thoughts about pizza (not to mention metaphysical music videos on the subject), it is the first time I’ve ever considered the pizza being separate from the crust. In my world, they’re one in the same. And you always, always, always clear your pizza plate.
So, how do we actually settle the debate? Eat more pizza!
