Fitness Blog Gets DESTROYED For Shaming Pizza On Twitter
Don’t mess with our pizza.
A Nigerian fitness blog learned that the hard way when they decided to go after the beloved snack on Twitter. Naija Gym Blog attempted to use a rather gross comparison of the fat content in pizza to shame people into not eating it, saying that pizza contains the equivalent of “3 spoons of warm oil.”

That claim is extremely subjective, given that we don’t know what “spoons” means in terms of actual measurement, nor do we know the size of the pizza that the blog is referring to. Twitter, however, took some offense to the attempt to shame pizza, and it’s been going viral ever since.
It started when model Chrissy Teigen picked up the tweet and retweeted her answer: “Yep.”

Since then, hundreds of thousands of tweets have been pouring in, mocking the comparison of eating pizza to eating straight warm oil.

Naija has actually responded in a fun but classy way, initiating a “LOVE FOR PIZZA POLL” based on the viral tweet.
LOVE FOR PIZZA POLLš:

Pls RTā Naija Gym Blog (@naijagym) February 20, 2017
So far, 90 percent of respondents have said they’ll still eat pizza, meaning that Naija hasn’t converted everyone away from the American staple just yet.
It probably won’t stop us from chowing down on some “warm oil,” either.
