It's not Subway's fault -- or anyone else's -- if you have trouble with controlling your eating.a weightloss programme should be sponsered by something encouraging and motivating to help others (like me) who watch it and are on a weightloss journey!! I dont want to see a flipping sub fly past the screen when alls i think about late a night is food!!:explode:
Also, you can thank Subway for making the program you watch free for your viewing pleasure. :flowerforyou:0 -
Not to mention....since when do shows hand pick their advertising content? It's more so...who has the money.
Right -- because food has nothing to do with weight loss.it just makes me wounder why a food based thing has to sponser a weightloss programme?! =/0 -

it was a rant.....as the girl says...she wasnt looking for fact finding or an ear bashing for not checking the nutritional value of the food... lighten up man.
Rant over.

Rather than attack me, why not re-read without per-determined prejudice for dislike. A question was asked, and fact based supportive answer was given.
Everything in life is based on the choices you make, consciously or subconsciously. Don't like what's on TV, turn it off and do something else. Don't like being over-weight, Choose to and upon that choice to be healthy. Want civility in life, treat others with respect and in turn, you get it.0 -

Even going with the 6 inch Cheesesteak, I wouldn't call it better than a Big Mac. And sure, I could've picked a healthier sub from Subway to compare, but I can choose just as many healthier options from McDonald's to compare with, also. I would definitely put McD's above Subway, way too easy to go overboard at Subway.

overboard at subway? ya sure. because when you go into mcdonalds you ONLY get a big mac right?0 -
And I disagree that Subway is worse than KFC or McD's. It's healthier to get a sandwich rather than a BigMac, and they are advertising based on that, and ignore the "options" of crisps, cookies, etc. It's all about making mindful decisions. It'd be great if they had more sponsors telling about the benefits of avoiding fast food and doing your own cooking, but I don't see that happening.
Plus... sandwiches are delicious. Mmm!

If you CHOOSE to eat a foot long, that is your doing. Is that Big Mac equivalent in size? didn't think so. The appropriated meal size recommended by Subway is 6". Match those numbers, don't skew them for your benefit to try and prove an imbalanced point.0 -
The protein is superior in the cheesesteak. Boom!

Not necessarily. Check you specifics before making generalizations. Healthy intake depends on overall consumption and your choice of what you eat.
Subway offers easy options and means for better choices.
yeaa but i dont think anyone wants to see food on the screen that time of night when its on! when late night eating is a struggle for alot of people loosing weight!
this pretty much says it all. turn the friggin' tv off then if you can't control your cravings because of a commercial. did you go out and buy a car too when you saw the ad for a new mercedes?0 -
Because it's a popular show and people will see their advertisement. The show likes the money paid to them by said advertiser. Quite simple, really.to big daddy!!!

Yes, damn them for being a business that wants to make money! And damn them for making you buy things. Man, it would be great if humans could think for themselves, and be the masters of their our fates. Alas... we are slaves to Subway and their demands to buy their food.alls subway think about is money

Okay, so you're comparing a Big Mac to a Footlong sandwich? Which one is bigger?
ALSO, you're not considering the fact that Subway has healthier options than a footlong cheesesteak sandwich. Turkey on wheat bread, for example. An entire footlong for that would probably only be maybe 100-200, MAYBE 300 calories more than a Big Mac, and you're getting vegetables in.
So I guess you're technically correct that McDonalds is healthier than Subway.
When you compare a Big Mac to a footlong Philly Cheesesteak.
