About a preposition, because of or due to
I read from a book that the sentence, " Because of the bad weather, we had to cancel our picnic." is right, but the following sentence is wrong.; Because of the delicious pizza, I ate six pieces.
I don't understant why the latter is wrong no matter how much I have thought. Could you give me a beam of light? Now I am in the dark....D;
