Foolish Assumptions I Have Made, vol. 2132
A club sandwich on wheat bread from Jimmy John’s must be healthy. Put some low-fat mayo on there and you can eat the whole thing guiltlessly. Tomatoes, lettuce, bean sprouts–it’s like a salad!
Never mind the roast turkey, five strips of bacon, and the wheat bread that somehow has more empty calories than their white bread.
Sigh.
What silly-to-stupid assumptions do you guys make about the foods you eat? Surely I can’t be the only one who’s connected some pieces of lettuce to Nutrition!!! at least once in my life.
the wheat is worse than their white?!!?!….that defies all the rules of bread
i consider myself a pretty smart eater and dont try to kid myself into thinking im eating healthy when im not. But there was one item that i knew was “less than healthy” but turned out to be the equivelent of eating a heart attack. And since i ate one almost every day for highschool lunch I was not so happy when i actually took the time to read the label.
the item- Hostess’s apple pie…and its 45% of your daily value in sat. fats

you can eat the thing in like 5 bites…how is that even possable….and its pie—most of its fruit….and following your logic jim…if it has fruit in it…it must bed good for you…..apples even…whats healthier than an apple?!!
Posted by chip wilson at August 30th, 2007, 1:43 amI used to be a regular sandwich eater but I finally figured out that I don’t like ‘em all that much without a big dollop of mayo and some tasty white bread like sourdough or foccacia. So if I’m going to have to use up a spurge just to have a damn sandwich I can halfway enjoy, I’d rather just skip it most days. So instead, I’ll opt for a nice juicy cheeseburger every few months and really enjoy the hell out of it.
