    If I hadn't just eaten a mountain of pork I'd probably be walking over to Subway right now.

    I might just go get some Pop-Tarts from the shop downstairs instead.

    I was going to Taco Bell for lunch but after reading through this thread I decided to hit up Subway instead-just got back with my 12" sub :bigsmile:

    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?

    How is this any different from any other fast food restaurant? I don't understand why you would be so shocked to find out that Subway is using preservatives to preserve their food…

    I like how you say that there is "hatred" being spewed, but you chose to title your thread "Evil Subway"….who is spewing hatred more; a few people having fun with an overtly obvious article about chemicals being in Subway food; or the person that titles a thread "evil subway"….

    If you build your sandwich right and have a glimmering of an understanding of what your body needs, it is.

    Couple portions of veggies, some protein, a well structured transparent menu with calorie and nutrition information.

    Sounds like a bloody great option to me.

    Yep. I usually double the meat, add lots of veggies, and leave off any dressings since I like a dry-ish sandwich. Super easy to fit in my day. And I totally love the flatbread.

    I am not hating on what you posted and woudn't call someone an idiot. However, I don't eat there enough to really worry or fret over chemical in olives and the fact that the bread is frozen and then baked on sight. When I do go to Subway, I enjoy every bite and don't stress over what may or may not be in it. I think the fact that people stress over food that is probably more unhealthy then the food itself.

    I suspect this won't be taken well, but you clearly have no clue what true hatred is.

    Especially since none of us called anyone an idiot or a moron, but simply responded to a post that said "EVIL Subway" in it. Yet another post denouncing a restaurant. Anyone going out to a restaurant knows the food there isn't going to be as healthy and fresh.
    And yes, OP doesn't seem to understand what true hatred really is. I just a lot of passionate disagreement, not personal attacks.

    If Subway uses frozen dough and doesn't recycle bread for multiple days, why do they need to put all of those preservatives in it?? Take it as a simple question, without regard to your personal philosophy on ingesting said chemicals.

    Actually, the person who posted 'idiot' was referring to the author of the article, not you. I think people are just a bit surprised that you're so surprised at the ingredient lists from Subway. It's right there, on their website. And when you post a topic titled Evil Subway, and then include a rather ridiculous article, you have to expect to get a bit of backlash.

    you people do realize you can just get a salad and pile on a bunch of vegetables with no added ingredients that you didn't even have to cut yourself?

    It's a great place for vegetarians/vegans to get a quick meal that fits your dietary goals.

    Sure all their meat products have added stuff for food safety/palatablity purposes, but they can fit your goals as well.

    There really aren't a lot of preservatives. All those scary-sounding things aren't preservatives. They're mostly there to make the dough have a more consistent texture and flavor from batch to batch, enhance the flavor, etc. There are also mold inhibitors, because mold can and will form on frozen dough as it thaws.

    Also, a lot of those chemicals are actually vitamins and minerals.

    In comparison to many other fast food chains IS a healthy option - meat, veggies and carbs with low saturated fats.

    Sure, it may not be 'clean' (which I see everywhere on these message boards) but, in reality, how 'clean' can anyone really eat. Would you call it 'dirty'? I wouldn't, but, hey, what do I know? I'm no food expert…I just know what I enjoy eating and I will continue eating Subway to my heart's content :smile:
