    When I smell a subway it make me nauseous. Subway=Fast food and if you're trying to live a healthier lifestyle, you should avoid it.

    Not only is this absurd, it's incredibly damaging and counterproductive.

    Subway is better than some other places, and I'm not going to stop eating there because you say that the ingredients in their food is questionable. The ingredients in Subway's bread are the same ingredients in the bread I buy at the grocery store.

    I mean... you claim that I believe Subway's marketing that their food is healthy. But aren't you just believing someone else's propaganda that their food is unhealthy.

    Marketing is everywhere. Even on those sites that tell you food is bad. Do you know why they claim something is bad? To get your attention so you will go to their page and be exposed to their advertisements. Show me a link to anything that claims Subway is bad AND doesn't have advertisements for other companies prominently displayed on their page.

    I'm sure he's long fled, but...
    Wow - So much hatred spewed out over all this! You people just LOVE telling someone they are an IDIOT don't you? What a lovely COMMUNITY we've become! 2 Years ago, I didn't see very much of this negativity here. MFP has grown up to be Facebook!

    Now, on to my rebuttal to everyone who thinks I'm just a moron for posting an article like this!

    I guess Im just disappointed that they use so many preservatives and artificial stuff (in bread they bake right in the store) and feel the need to add so many chemicals.

    I fully knew that the meats and cheeses were processed and full of crap! But to put artificial colors in pickles or other chemicals in olives? Why? It's not needed?
    So it's ok to 'spew hatred' over some fast food company, but not people to point out the fallacy of this spewing of hatred?

    Why does artificial=bad? What defines artificial vs not.

    Does 'chemicals' = bad?

    I presume you don't like that subway soaks their olives in a Lye solution?
    Like the vast majority of Olives, especially black ones.

    And so on.

    I LIKE that MFP is now more sceptical and does seem to focus a little more on useful real world information and less on 'supporting' people offering all sorts of biased make-believe :).

    Subway isn't evil. Besides, the girls that work there make excellent girlfriend/wife material.

    If you give them half a chance people will tell you not to eat that bread either. :flowerforyou:

    Oh yes... but see... I'm not foolish enough to believe that "organic" bread is any better than my Sunbeam white bread. LOL!

    If you didn't make it yourself, then you are just trusting the people that put it on the shelf one way or the other. I don't have time to make bread myself so.... Subway anyone?

    For the people whose tummies growl when they hear about a particular fast food restaurant using questionable ingredients or practices: what is a deal breaker for you? Is there a particular substance that would make you avoid the food or is anything short of food poisoning fair game?

    What questionable ingredients or practices?
