That's right. But in evolutionary terms, we're never talking about one animal. We talk about whole populations. So, to use your example, what happens when we have 100 kids, and each one gets a pizza? Answer: 99 kids die of the disease, but 1 kid lives due to the pinapple pizza. Now, who is going to pass on their pizza to the next generation? Answer: the one kid who survived. And after that, everybody has a pineapple pizza.
Dude, the kid will eat the whole pizza. When he reproduce then you will need to order a new pizza. For the new children. Just a joke.
Another joke out of this would be. If 99 out of a 100 would die. Then how will that 1 (survivor) reproduce? This of course applying to animal who reproduces sexually.
Anyways. Maybe it was a bad analogy. As I said I'm not good with analogies.
