For last 37 years this man from New Jersey has been eating pizza for dinner every night, a habit he formed as a 4-year-old picky eater. 
Mike Roman, from Hackensack, New Jersey, said he is healthy even after almost four decades of eating pizza for dinner as 'pizza has three of the four basic food groups'. Not only this, Roman said his food included cheese slice and a peanut butter sandwich for lunch beside plain cheese pizza for dinner.
Roman, 41, went on Tom La Vecchia's 'New Theory' podcast to discuss his dietary habit where said that he was four and a very fussy eater when his mom gave up and started letting him have pizza for dinner every night.
"Every day I'm just as fascinated as the day before," Roman was quoted as saying in Business Insider, adding, he never gets bored of pizza.
"I don't know. Dinner to me is nothing really that special," he said. On the podcast, Roman, who is an elementary school teacher, said he has lived in the same town, listened to the same music, watched the same movies and TV, and eaten the same food his whole life because he likes routine.
Moreover, according to The Washington Post, Congress called pizza a vegetable on a technicality in 2011 because 'an eighth of a cup of tomato paste is credited with as much nutritional value as half a cup of vegetables'.
Earlier this year, Chelsey Amer, a registered dietitian, told The Daily Meal that a slice of pizza is a more well-rounded breakfast than a bowl of cereal and milk. However, the US government's dietary guidelines recommend adults to have half portion of their food as fruits and vegetables.
In 2016, Andrew Hawryluk ate the same order from Chipotle for 186 days straight, while, Theresa Rowley said she lived to be 104 by drinking a can of Diet Coke every day.
