This Is Why You Are Fat

I came across a great blog, thisiswhyyourefat.com. It’s few on words, but the name of the website and pictures speaks for itself. It’s basically a picture collection of artery-clogging, heart-attack inducing foods. Foods that I have never seen before, such as the French fry encrusted hot dog, the turbaconucken (a chicken inside a duck inside a turkey, all wrapped in bacon), the spaghetti meatball on a stick, Krispy Kreme bacon cheddar cheeseburgers, and many more! It isn’t hard to see why obesity is an epidemic and heart disease is one of the top killers in America. My favorite is the Happy Meal Pizza.

Wait, where’s the toy?!?!

Papa John’s Founder Is Telling His Customers Not To Eat Too Much Of His Pizza

LONDON, England (CNN) — The founder of one of America’s largest pizza chains has offered unexpected advice to his customers to limit themselves to only one or two slices.

During an interview on BBC’s Radio Four program in the United Kingdom, John Schnatter, said, “you can’t eat five or six slices.”

He was responding to a question from presenter Adam Shaw about whether he was concerned about the impact of the British government’s anti-obesity drive on pizza sales.

“No. Pizza’s actually healthy for you if you don’t eat too much of it,” Schnatter replied, adding, “You can’t eat five or six slices but if you eat one or two slices it’s very nutritious.”

The pizza chain boss had just finished telling BBC listeners that the UK market was a “huge priority for Papa John’s International.”

The company has 118 outlets in the United Kingdom, its second biggest market outside the U.S. after China.

Sales in the UK jumped 60% on Monday alone after heavy snowfalls were estimated to have encouraged around one in five workers to stay at home.

Schnatter is in the United Kingdom for the annual franchisee conference, a marketing tool to encourage more small business owners to buy into the Papa John’s brand.

While it’s impossible to know whether his comments have dissuaded anyone from investing in the company, BBC presenter Shaw suggested shareholders might take issue with his suggestion.

“I’m not sure your investors would want to hear you tell people don’t eat too much of our pizzas,” he laughed before thanking Schnatter for his time.

Schnatter opened his first shop in 1985, after selling his beloved Camaro to buy his first pizza oven. There are now more than 3000 restaurants worldwide.

Ingredients

Olive oil
Cooked chicken breast meat (diced)
Celery – 1 Stalk
Blue cheese
Mozzerella cheese
Butter
Hot sauce
Naan flat bread

I don’t have the time or the patience to make pizza crust from scratch, so I decided to use naan (a flat bread eaten in India and the Central Asia region) instead, and it came out rather well.

The amount of sauce and cheese to use is all of personal preference, so if you’re either a sauce or cheese lover, it’s all up to you. For this recipe, I made 2 personal sized pizzas.

Brush the naan on both sides with olive oil and place it on a baking sheet. Finely slice the celery. Melt about 1 Tsp of butter into 2 or 3 Tsp of hot sauce and mix well in a pan over low heat. Brush the hot sauce on the naan, leaving some space on the outer border. Next, add the bleu cheese. Add the mozzerella cheese, then put on the chicken and celery.

Bake for about 6 minutes in the oven at 400 degrees.

That’s about it.
