Here is but one piece of relevant case law:

2) This is the opposite of concise.
You've unnecessarily bumped sandwich up to the Class level, when it really is a genus.
That's like saying, "Look, why do we have to have all of these different categories for animals? Humans, dogs, snakes, they're really all just ducks. Let's just call them all ducks, and then we can break that into sub categories like Humans, dogs, and snakes...oh, and ducks." |
1) I reject your assertion that your standing as the founding member of the University of Calgary Sandwich Appreciation club, makes you an authority on the subject. As a historian who has extensively researched the history of food culture, I believe that I am adequately educated in the subject to state that here needs to be an amendment to that law presented as evidence that burritos, and other sandwich like substances are in fact not in the sandwich class.
I suggest that the ruling in principle should be upheld, with the amendment that the differences within the sandwich class are broad enough that in some instances there is adequate distinction between sandwich orientation and composition for them to be titled, and marketed as separate entities under the same class.
2) Historically, there has been several changes to the classification system of animals based on new compelling evidence. Tradition is not a justification for bad science! Categorizing burritos, hot dogs, pizza or even more radically the breaded chicken wing as anything different as a class is the equivalent of justifying animal classes should be based on how many arms, or legs a species has, or whether or not it has the full overage of fur, or has a tail, or lives under water. These aesthetic differences can not dissuade us from the similarities within the class. Just as all mammals breath oxygen and are derived from the same ancestor, all sandwiches are easily held and eaten by hand. Although the wrapping and the substance may vary from sandwich to sandwich they serve the same function, to conglomerate several ingredients into a single food class and can be held and eaten with the hand.
