That’s disgusting*

*No offense. That’s just my neutral observation. You see, a lot of people who only eat these kinds of pizzas don’t know there are other kinds, and they tend to take objective descriptions like “disgusting” as insulting, because they are overly emotional. Unlike me, I’m just doing rational analysis.
In "Existentialism Is a Humanism," Jean-Paul Sartre wrote the following:
Moody French Intellectual Guy said:
Those who hide from this total freedom, in a guise of solemnity or with deterministic excuses, I shall call cowards. Others, who try to show that their existence is necessary, when it is merely an accident of the appearance of the human race on earth – I shall call scum.
He insisted he used both these terms--"coward" and "scum"--in a neutral, purely descriptive sense. Funny thing, though: absolutely no one believed him.

That's some quality not-posting.

"Disgusting" is a really loaded word that will put people off!

You should pick a neutral word that notes it is a mixture of many things, but making no judgement, and implying no judgement about it. I'm sure there's one around somewhere...
