Wacky Wednesday--Sandwiches Are Evil

Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.

~The ideal use of food is to nourish along with creating fellowship and communion with others.
~Food deliberately designed to be eaten in isolation is the source of all our problems today.
~The drive-through convenience culture did not start with McDonalds. It started with the Earl of ~Sandwich telling us that food could be reduced to such a minimalist experience.
~Sandwich makes you want chips makes you want soda. It’s a vicious cycle.
~They’re unhealthy. The meat, the condiments, the bread, all of it.
~They’re unpatriotic. Eating sandwiches doesn’t stimulate the economy as much as eating out does.
~Earl of Sandwich developed them because he liked to gamble at cards so much he wouldn’t stop to eat. So its history is associated with gambling and addictive social gaming.
~They encourage you to work through lunch, but we all need down time.
~Leavened bread—don’t you know the significance of leaven Biblically?
~They’re sort of low-class.
