Eat Your Veggies!

I made a terrible discovery on Sunday night.

You probably aren't going to want to hear this but I'm going to tell you anyway.

We didn't have church so Dave and I were just relaxing on the couch. We had just put Lily to bed and decided that we were finally hungry for some dinner. Dave suggested ordering pizza but I turned that idea down because I had the vague notion that after our giant meal of ham and cheesy potatoes earlier in the day, perhaps we should opt for something a little lighter and healthier. So I suggested Jimmy John's.

If you've never eaten at Jimmy John's before, you don't know what you are missing. Best. Subs. Ever.

And as far as healthy goes, well the subs have vegetables on them. They've got to be better for you than pizza, right? Right?

We went to their website to check their menu, and if I could take back what I did next I would...for reasons still unbeknownst to me, I decided to click on the "Nutritional Information" of the sandwich I ordered.

Right there in black and white it said: Calories -- 807

Are you kidding me? 807 calories in a sandwich? With vegetables on it? I could eat 4 pieces of greasy pizza from Pizza Hut for that!

Luckily, I read the nutritional information before we ordered, so I could cut the sandwich in half and eat part of it on Sunday night and save part of it for lunch the next day.

I'm kidding of course. I ate the whole sandwich that night and enjoyed every delicious calorie.

But my delusion that eating things with vegetables makes them better for you has been shattered. Now I'll feel as guilty eating Jimmy John's as I do eating greasy pizza. Ignorance is bliss, I tell you...
