Nutrition Facts: Ham and Cheese Sandwich

This is the sequence of events which make a ham and cheese sandwich:

Energy from the sun is absorbed by plants. The plants use photosynthesis and grow using this energy. One of these plants is wheat.
Wheat is ground to make flour. Animals eat the other plants. These animals include pigs and cows. Eating the plants transfers the energy from the plants to the animals.
The ham comes from the pig. The cow produces milk, which is turned into cheese. The bread is made from the flower.

You ate a sandwich of ham, cheese, mayonnaise, mustard, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles.

What is a Calorie? A calorie is a unit of ENERGY. We tend to associate calories with food, but they apply to anything containing energy. For example, a gallon (about 4 liters) of GASOLINE contains about 31,000,000 calories.	One calorie is equal to 4.184 joules, a common unit of energy used in the physical sciences. Specifically, a calorie is the amount of energy, or heat, it takes to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit).
