Peanut Butter and Jelly is the best invention of all time! Not only can you ingest these substances by themselves, but you could also pair them together on bread to produce the most delicious and outstanding sandwich ever. If you recall being of a younger age and allowing your mother to pack you a PB&J sandwich in your sophisticated lunchbox, and enjoying every savory minute of it at lunchtime. You could compare your sandwich to that of your peers also; debate who had the best type of bread, peanut butter, and (last but certainly not least) jelly. This simple yet refined piece of organic material was the source of happiness in every child’s eye while growing up. For this reason, Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches should be a mandatory lunchtime snack for everyone in these great 50 states.
There are only two reasons that this act of eating PB&J sandwiches for lunch everyday, everywhere, should be lawful. Number one relates to the nutritional value of these morsels. The bread itself, with its endless array of flavors (Rye, White, Wheat, Sourdough, Pumpernickel, Greek Olive, Multi grain, Harvest, Sun dried Tomato, and even Cinnamon), is incredibly healthy for any growing child (or adult). Bread ranges from only 50 calories to that of a potential 160 calories, providing an ample amount of energy for a busy day. Let us move to the Peanut Butter now. There are essentially two kinds of Peanut Butter; there is creamy or crunchy Peanut Butter. Now, no matter the type (I prefer crunchy) this is an incredibly healthy snack because it is loaded with protein, which helps growing children. You could get technical and draw a debate over organic or processed Peanut Butters, but with the added factory-based constituents, why bother with the organic mess? Finally there is the countless amount of jelly types. Not only can you purchase jellies, but you can also buy jams. Just about any flavor imaginable or desirable can be had with jelly. And when you dissect the nutritional value of jelly, you will be very pleased to find that you can achieve sugar free jelly at about 8 calories, or regular fruit jellies at about 70 calories. This is nothing in comparison to the calories in the bread in which you are ingesting.
The second reason to produce a lunchtime law of PB&J is that this afternoon meal or snack is the president of the United States’ all-time favorite food. How much better would you feel about sending your son or daughter to school with a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich knowing that he/she is eating the same type of snack that President Bush himself is munching on in the Oval Office? How much better would you feel about yourself if you knew that you were making a decision so distinguishable in eating PB&J that our Commander in Chief would do the same? How much better would you feel about our nation, if for every lunch period around the world, men and women alike were eating the same thing as the leader of this great nation? I for one am inkling to produce a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich right now to satisfy the craving.
But in all seriousness now, the people of the United States would feel a stronger camaraderie if they were made to eat the best sandwich in the world everyday for lunch. I mean it is much more healthy than hundreds of other sandwiches out there, it is delicious, and it is highly diverse, right? So why not make this childhood favorite and long-time adult forgotten favorite food mandatory to devour during lunch? I will presume, with high certainty that you cannot find one reason to object to this idea. And with even a single objection, my response to you skeptics is that if the president of the United States enjoys Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches, why shouldn't we?
