After I posted my sandwich blog last week, I was sent a link to a chart that the American Cancer Society created that breaks down the difference between a “good” sandwich and a “bad” sandwich. Personally, I think all sandwiches are “good” – at least they taste good – but after seeing this chart I totally understand why some sandwich selections are considered “bad.”
So, here’s the chart. How does your sandwich stack up?
