Annie: This list is really frightening! There are many sandwiches on there that you wouldn’t think are REALLY bad if you didn’t know the nutritional facts!
Charlie: I agree. How can a TUNA sandwich be the second worst in America?
Annie: I hope Mama and Papa stay away from these artery busters!
Charlie: Definitely; they have to stay in top physical condition to maintain OUR rigorous play schedule!
Annie: That’s for sure! Hey, are you feeling OK? You look disorientated.
Charlie: I just can’t get over the fact that tuna can be so unhealthy. It’s very disorientating. We need to keep this list out of Mama and Papa’s sight so they don’t stop serving us our favorite gourmet cat food tuna variety. I’m willing to take my chances!
Annie: Relax! That’s not going to happen! It’s not the tuna that’s bad, it’s all the other stuff they put on the sandwich that makes it a fat bomb.
Charlie: Whew! That’s good to know; I don’t think I could go on without my gourmet tuna!
