It’s not the kind of marketing message a company craves: John Schnatter, founder and CEO of pizza chain Papa John’s, has advised customers not to eat a lot of pizza.
John Schnatter’s Papa John’s Comments
John Schnatter’s comments came during an interview with the BBC’s “Radio Four” show in the U.K. this week. Schnatter was asked whether he was worried about how anti-obesity efforts by the British government were affecting his business.
“No,” he answered. “Pizza’s actually healthy for you if you don’t eat too much of it. You can’t eat five or six slices.”
The program’s host laughed, telling Schnatter: “I’m not sure your investors would want to hear you tell people, ‘Don’t eat too much of our pizzas.’”
Whoops.

How sad that this CEO is being ridiculed for telling the truth and advocating that consumers enjoy his product in a responsible manner! And yet people go on and on about how fat Americans are. I guess you just can't win.
