Peanut Butter Banana Raisin Sandwich

This is the first time I have eaten a peanut butter-banana-raisin sandwich, and it is so good!  To cut down on fat and calories, I used a 45 calorie whole wheat bread (Sara Lee Delightful). I absolutely love Sara Lee's Delightful brand.

Excerpt:
When we consider the wolf and the elephant, the shark and the ox, the weasel and the deer, we find that it is not the size or strength of animals, but how they obtain their food, that determines whether their nature is violent or gentle.

We humans are also animals. Therefore, it is how our food is obtained that determines our own nature: violent or gentle. A gentle human nature is essential if we are to evolve; and we must evolve, if we are to survive."
