Essay / Research Paper Abstract
An 8 page analysis of the components of the tuna sandwich. Breaks the sandwich down into each of its components comparing them ecologically and evolutionary to man. The paper then concentrates on the molecular components of the sandwich, noting the particularly of the passage of elements such as starches and sugars through the digestive system of the human body. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Our understanding of the food we eat is often limited to its appearance and taste. Occasionally we may have a rough idea of
its nutritional value but seldom does that knowledge extend to more specific details. An example of the complexity of food will be presented in this brief outline of the
relative characteristics of the lowly tuna sandwich. When we first consider a tuna sandwich the most obvious feature is the tuna itself. Tuna, of course, is derived from
another living animal, the fish. Generically the fish is a creature of the water and humans are creatures of the earth. There are, however, many similarities between these
two very different organisms. Biochemically, for example, the fish is quite similar to humans in terms of the molecular makeup of
its bones and tissues. It tissues are composed of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals and various vitamins just as is human tissue. This similarity, in fact, makes the fish good
food as we can easily incorporate these elements into our own body. There are numerous other aspects of the lowly tuna sandwich which are equally as fascinating in terms of
its makeup and relation to humans. Several of these aspects will be discussed in the remainder of this paper. While we
may think of the fish as far removed from humans on the evolutionary ladder, there are certain relationships which must be noted. Fish, after all, are believed by evolutionists
to be the evolutionary predecessor of higher animals. Vertebrates were thought to have originated in the oceans and migrated to freshwater (Forey and Janvier, 1994). Lampreys and hagfish
