Classification Intro #2

It is a 30 billion dollar per year industry. Americans consume 3 billion per year. It is America’s favorite food. What am I talking about, you ask? I am talking about pizza. Almost everyone loves pizza and when someone says they don’t like pizza, you look at them like they have 3 heads. But with so many different pizza varieties and pizza shops out there, how is one to choose? For me, it is all about the crust. There is the thin crust pizza, the thick crust pizza and the popular deep-dish. All have their own great qualities and most people have a favorite.

Tough topic because the essay has to be an individual essay, one no one else could write, so you have to bring an individual point of view to a very general topic. Unless you're passionate about crusts, you're going to find yourself saying, "A thin crust is just that--thin. It can almost be crispy" and so on, and you want to do more with your material than tell the reader what the reader already knows.

I'd introduce the personal preferences long before the last graf as a way to make this work.
