The Subway Sandwich Deception

All restuarants do this......advertise as "fresh" but its convenience food really.....after the recent horsemeat thingy here in UK , I ve stopped my son having school meals......
Things have changed , I truly believe the best way to eat out is to take food with you if you are to be out of the house at mealtimes....I just take a sandwich and a banana for me and my boy if we are going to miss lunch.....fish and chips here in UK is about the only thing thats on my agenda as an OK to eat if we get caught short....

Did nt mean to post twice.....

t was a sensible post, i read it twice happily.
if you dont grow it yourself, and eat it, dont be surprised if you find out it is tampered with.
The global food crisis (people being unable to account for their own/local community crops) has not gone to waste on big chemical companies,
they take the opportunitie to poison as many as possible, also future generations.

That part made me I like Subway's spicy italian hoagies, rarely eat them but think they taste good, but...why does their store just have such a STENCH?? I dunno, it's a very weird smell. Nasty.

Eat there quite a bit.. no more..

MAN DAMN.


Just.


No.


DON'T TAKE MY SUBWAY AWAY.

Having the cold cut trio right now, mmmmmmm chemicals :)

Another shill post for Natural News.

I think I'm goin' for the Teriyaki Chicken today.

Agreed. The smell is the same no matter which " restaurant" you enter. Very odd...

I insist on traditional cut and it always blows their mind...the teenybopper has to go get the manager to show them how to cut it right :)

think fresh kill

That "slit the top" thing never did it for me.....too messy and illogical.

No breakfast today either....so footlong....here I come.

Nom nom nom nom.

Did you know they use sulfites to preserve their produce? I have a reaction to that stuff that causes my throat to swell up any time I eat at Subway. So I avoid them like the plague!

Man, where can I start -- asteroids smashing into the earth, sequestration and thousands of jobs going down the tube, stock market about to go over the top of that roller coaster high, zombies, killer quakes, pandemics and now:

SUBWAY SANDWICH DOOM -- life as it had been is over!!!

It seems rather obvious, IMHO, that their "food" is anything but fresh.

Take their "meat" for instance: The meat is 100% processed. They receive their "meat" in a giant cube or oval shaped blob which is then sliced. Real meat just doesn't come naturally shaped in a giant oval blob. This stuff is basically on the same par as pre-packaged individually wrapped "cheese" slices, other wise known as "processed cheese food product".

There is nothing fresh or natural about it. The "meat food product" is simply a blended slurry of meat stuff (god only knows what) mixed with tons of sodium, preservatives, chemicals and likely "meat glues". The result of this mix is them shaped into some type of cube or blob, plastic wrapped and shipped to the stores.

The same hold for almost all of their other "food products".

The lettuce is pre-cut and arrives in plastic bags that are ready to open. Surly their are a lot of additives into the produce to preserve the appearance of "freshness". Likely color additives as well to enhance to appearance.

The dough is likely also pre-mixed and shipped in bags which can then be baked. I suspect the pre-mixed dough comes in a wet form in plastic bags although it is possible that it comes in a pre-mixed dry form, in plastic bags, which is then mixed with one of those big dough mixing machines after adding water. I have never worked at subway so I'm not certain of the procedure they use, but I would be fairly certain that is from one of these two methods.

The only things I could see being cut in store would be perhaps the tomatoes and possibly be onions, cucumbers and green peppers. However, it is likely that even the onions and green peppers are also pre-sliced, arriving to the store in plastic bags that have been modified by preservatives, color enhancing agents and other chemicals.

I suspect the tomatoes and cucumbers are actually cut in house but its highly doubtful that they are organic. Most likely they are GMO "foods".

The olives, banana peppers and pickles are obviously canned and obtained from mass production suppliers such as PYA.

So fresh is not exactly what I consider when thinking about Subway..... pre-packaged food stuff delivered from mass producing suppliers, arriving in large cardboard boxes containing numerous plastic bags which are then opened behind the scenes and dumped into the trays used to display them at the front of the store in the sandwich prep station.

So again: Fresh - NO; Natural - Negative

The illusion of freshness should be their true slogan if there were really any truth in advertising


MEAT GLUE ....... YUK

"Fresh" does not mean "Natural"...under any circumstances. Subway has never offered "Natural" food...just fresh. Although much of the items they offer have sat there all day...on display...to show how "fresh" they are.

In other news...

Granulated "sugar" is beet sugar UNLESS it is actually labelled as "Cane Sugar". This goes for ingredients on labels, too. If the ingredients list says "sugar"...you can be assured it is NOT cane sugar. If it contains cane sugar it must specify "cane sugar". But not beet sugar. Beet sugar is just "sugar".

White chips are NOT white chocolate chips, regardless of being packaged by a prestigious chocolate company and being sold surrounded by all sorts of "chocolate chip" varieties. It is merely what it says - "White Chips"...made from corn syrup. White Chocolate is only white chocolate if it actually is labelled "White Chocolate".

We recently discovered "Bright & Early" ...what one would think was cheap orange juice...right alongside the real orange juices. Fascinated...we read the ingredients...Pure filtered water, sweeteners (high fructose corn syrup, sugar), less than 2% of: citric acid (provides tartness), potassium citrate (regulates tartness), modified cornstarch, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, vitamin C (ascorbic acid), natural and artificial flavors, yellow #6, yellow #5.

And I'm still completely baffled as to why they are suddenly talking about adding sugar/sweetener to milk...WTF??? I have never seen any type of sweetener listed as an ingredient on milk. What is up with that?

No wonder that Jarred lost weight on the Sub-par® diet.
His body was starving to death, due to the dangerous chemical additives.

It actually comes in frozen sticks of dough, thawed out overnight.

/care

I was just thinking whether I should make something at home or pick something up...

I had a subway craving last night in fact.

Extra azerbiodeblahblahcarmine please.

BBQ rib on parm oregano or Spicy Italian on toasted flatbread...

Fuck it, I'll just get both.

For those of you that did not know this, welcome to the club. Just because they have additives does not mean they are bad for you. Without additives, and perservs spoiling is quick if kept at room temp. Do you have any idea how much of our food is imported or shipped state to state? Wake up a bit, fresh food is only locally grown food. You have to import what you cant grow. Check your local farmers market to see what is grown in the region. Some things require a certain climate.

Subway tastes like shite.

::bsflag:bsflag:The one i go to, they cut them open in front of your face

I believe subway is a rip off today. I remember the days when they stuffed the sandwiches but JJ is even worse. They put on about 20 cents in vegetables, literally counting pickle slices and tomatoes then begrudge you with the meat and sauce and wince when you want more sauce to cover up the tasteless meat. Then the sandwich isn't even a foot. You pay $6.00 for a 75 cent sandwich. ARG

Actually your foot long sammy is probably now at least a foot long. About two weeks ago when I was there, I jokingly asked the girl piling all the veggies on the two or three slices of actual meat in my sandwich if they were measuring the roll now. She laughed and said they actually were told to measure them.

Sammich was nommie.

Actually, the additives affect me quite severely, so that statement isn't too factual.
And yes, I do shop locally and make most of my own meals because there are additives in most restaurant foods, especially salad bars. I've found a few places that don't use it that I patronize, but I've learned the hard way that this stuff is in damn near everything I buy that's ready to eat.
