I moved this post to the Cafe Society for as our Forum for Food related threads. It was not a “Great Debate”, more of a What have I got in my pockets question. I fixed the title as the typos and lack of capitalization will cause no end of complaints.

An answer for a snacking conundrum. Are you actually hungry? Then the sandwich combo. Are you not actually hungry and will be able to eat a meal later today? Then nachos if all you care about is that it’s tasty. If it’s a school lunch, I doubt the balanced nutrition and the long term eating consequences matter to you. Personally, I wouldn’t touch “school lunch” nachos with a 3 meter pole, I have standards that do not include “cheez” and lifeless pickled jalapenos. ---

Sandwich is a great choice. I heartily endorse it. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hurry-i-need-help-what-should-i-eat/1016630.md?page=2)
