Papa John’s To Raise Price Of Pizza Due To ‘Obamacare’

You hate businessmen, America wants jobs and a growing economy. Something Obama and the Democrats failed to deliver over the last 4 years. They are toast in November. In the words of James Carville.....it's the economy stupids!

 

And people blame ********** obstructionism.

 

Maybe, maybe not. No one knows what the future holds.

 

Is this a joke? Greazy fatty sodium ladened pizza is one of the things contributing to the healthcare crisis and John Schnatter has the balls to complain about the results?! Schnatter can kiss my ass. The price of pizza should go up $3 a pop at least to help cover the damage it does.

The cognitive dissonance in America is unbelievable. You are complaining about funding healthcare... while peddling poison. I can't believe no one is calling this jerk out on this. Of course right wing idiots are going right along with this buffoon.

On a lesser note Papa John's pizza is nasty. I have never voluntarily ordered it. Frankly I only eat pizza on very rare occasions. That stuff is awful for you.

And on an even lesser note ¢14?! Does this jagoff know the price of a gallon of gasoline? The cost of gasoline moves around a heck of a lot more than ¢14 in any 6 month period. Who honestly frets about tossing out less than three nickels more or less for some putrefied cow dung on a stale crust that is going to kill you?

My theory? This guy can't make his quarterly numbers and had to find a scapegoat. I've listened to enough earnings calls to know when someone's got nothing and he has to blame "macro" factors for his companies lack of performance. Sounds exactly like the last Starbuck's call.

 

Only a lunatic would categorically hate businessmen, which would explain why the Democratic party manages to attract so many lunatics...

 

SO you are saying America loves CEOs like that of Goldman Sachs? Give me a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing break.

 

lol

Now pizza is poison.

Leftists, utterly delusional. If only the dumbass electorate could get a window into their arrogant psychosis, maybe they would stop blighting us with their leadership.

 

I thought you were the guy that was going to go to medical school? Or was that someone else? How do you not know this?

 

So you are saying that every businessman in American is like the CEO of Goldman Sachs? Give me a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing break.

 

Show me a single physician or medical publication that says pizza is poison.

 

Every thread with this guy. Your inability to understand complex human interactions and social constructs such as race or the creative use of the language to convey ideas is going to make med school rough. By the way pay close attention to the paragraphs on concrete thinking in your psychiatric textbook... assuming you get in and last that long.

Medical school? Seriously? You know they interview for those things, right? You actually need to be able to have a conversation with intelligent educated people and understand something a bit more than a literal use of the English language. Good luck dude!

 

Translation: I cannot defend my insane position so I will fecklessly attack the other poster as if he gave a microscopic piece of fecal matter about what some random lunatic thought.

 

You lost the argument, Jebediah is 100% correct.

 

You are correct. Seriously go back and look at the posts. It's one meaningless bickerfest after another over idiosyncratic bizarre definitions and critiques of the English language. How in the world is that going to work in a job or medical school interview? That's precisely the type of thing those interviews are set up to detect.

Someone says "pizza is poison" and Dr. Concrete Thinking is off to the races and assumes people are getting cyanide topped asbestos on their pie. WTF? It's a political forum. We can't have fun with the language? What, we all have to sound like Ben Stein in Ferris Bueller's Day Off or someone will flip out?

 

About what? Please be more specific.

 

It's not my fault you rely on hyperbole to make your arguments. Pizza is not "poison" and its impact on the general population's health is not as simple as you are making it out to be, particularly as it concerns their fat content.

 

Please show why pizza should be raised $3 per pie due to health concerns..... Or was that you being creative again with language.

 

Jeb likes to fancy himself an expert in this and that. Right now he is wearing his physician hat.

 

Oh, so now you do understand the concept of hyperbole? Okay. So you were just trolling in those other posts.

Trust me son I have far more training in human physiology than you do or probably ever will and it's pretty much settled within the medical community that the excessive empty calories (ie high fat content), sodium, low fiber, etc of the average Papa John's/Pizza Hut pizza is "poison." You guys can bicker back and forth about government vs privately funded medical care. You can vote for Obama or Romney but as long as you have the majority of Americans over weight/obese; living a sedentary lifestyle; abusing alcohol, tobacco and drugs; and demanding robotic surgery for everything you will never solve the health care problem. So by all means listen to this idiotic pizza peddler and point the finger at Obama and vote for Romney. I guarantee you in the long run it will cost you more than the <3 nickels this guy is moaning about. And by the way voting for Obama ain't gonna solve the problem either.

 

No, I was not trolling. I was pointing out your stupid hyperbole.

No, it's not "settled", especially when it comes to role fats play in the pathology of heart disease. You don't have the faintest idea what you're talking about and it shows.

I am not voting for either one of them and that has no relevance whatsoever to your initial claims demonizing pizza products. Obviously any physician will tell you that stuffing your face with foods high in sodium and saturated fats (there are no trans fats in PJ pizza) everyday is terrible for your health but that does not mean that pizza cannot be a healthy food to eat from time to time, especially if you exercise, socialize, and reduce your stress levels a lot. Those wishing to avoid heart disease should concentrate more on reducing their sugar intake than eliminating saturated fats from their diets. Here, educate yourself...

Why Cholesterol May Not Be the Cause Of Heart Disease - by Dr Mark Hyman

 

Yes you were. If you want to call an obviously hyperbolic post hyperbolic you can but it is pointless and redundent. But even that would be better than playing dumb with you concrete thinking routine which is what you did.

Now did I say it was settled in regards to the "role fats play in the pathology of heart disease?" I don't think so. I mentioned the excessive empty calories. That is not up for debate. Anyone that even casually thumbs through the latest medical journals knows that tree nuts (which are high in fat) have been shown to actually be cardio protective so please take whatever strawman you are constructing to another thread.

Man your idiosyncratic use of the English language is amazing. You are really going to talk like this in medical school interviews? Dude just because someone says it is okay to eat something sparingly does not mean it is "healthy." It means you get diminishing returns once you have cut your pizza consumption down to a minimum. There is little to gain from eliminating it entirely. But frankly if you look at the really advanced longevity research it actually takes the fairly relaxed recommendations of most physicians and nutritionists and pushes them to the extreme and it's gotten astonishing results. In animal models longevity has been increased dramatically. Johannes Bauer down in Texas has been doing some interesting research in this area... and trust me this guy thinks "pizza is poison."

Also since you are so up on the latest research I'm sure you've read the papers on processed meats...

Link.

So you think that sausage or pepperoni you put on that Papa John's is "healthy" or do you think it is "poison."

You are in over your head junior.

LOL. I guess you've never taken a graduate level biochemistry class and learned in depth how the body absorbs, processes, synthesizes, and utilizes fats and cholesterol. This guy might be making a name for himself amongst lay people but people who have studied biochemistry on the graduate level already know the pathways and the discussions surrounding them.

I read some of that dross you linked to. Please don't tell me you are one of those dolts that thinks statins work solely by manipulating lipid levels in the blood! I'm in tears! You don't still believe that in in 2012? Do you? LOL. Good luck in medical school!

 

papa john will have to pay for our universal health care and we will continue to have the Liberty of eating pizza, if we should get sick then the state will pay for it.

if he's rich enough to sell me pizza, he's rich enough to pay for my heart attack and cholesteral statin drugs.

 

That's why I said I think. Trust me I'm not pizza business savvy but I'm looking at it from a really, really basic standpoint, raising prices = less customers. Plus they defiantly got a little bump from this announcement.

Yeah I guess you're right but I just don't like trusting corporations, in my mind they're not people. And another problem I have is a company will do whatever it takes to help itself that means supporting anything that'll help them, I have real trust issues with companies haha.

I'm the same way with brand loyalty, if I like something I stick to it, no need to try anything else but good point. And thanks! Trust me I'll be civil, you seem like a clear headed person that isn't shouting "Obama's from Africa" every 5mins so we'll be good.

 

I'm glad you admit that you are reliant on hyperbole to make your points. This is step in the right direction.

You mentioned fats specifically in your hyperbolic screed about pizza being a poison. If that wasn't in reference to the pathology of heart disease, then why did you bother mentioning it in the context of your hyperbolic rant about poison? Please, clarify.

There is no evidence to suggest that moderate ingestion of pizza is anything but "healthy". If you have some literature that demonstrates otherwise, feel free to send it my way. I'm always willing to be convinced by the evidence.

It's "healthy" if consumed in moderation and "poison" if consumed to excess, just like anything else humans normally eat.

You didn't even bother reading it. How unbelievably lazy of you. I read your links.

 

Yes we do. Allan West will be among the first to go.
