Is Subway healthy?
Not for children.
No.Jared's thing (besides the children) wasn't that subway is healthy made him thin, it was that portion control is just a fool proof way to lose weight and he could use 1/2 a sandwich as portion control.
>>22054510It's got options that are comparatively healthy, but also has options that are particularly unhealthy. Like a six inch Tuna on whole grain with spinach, cucumber, tomato, onion, fresh bell peppers, and some mustard with a sugar free iced tea, that's great for you. A Footlong Meatball Sub on Italian Herb and Cheese with added Bacon, a dollop of Mayo, a bag of Doritos and a large Coke, that's gonna kill you faster than a Big Mac.
>>22054518KEK>>22054510No. Are you Retarded? I'll bet you think Mcdonald's is good for you too.
>>22054539what if i just get a meat ball sub without all that gay strawman shit you dumped on it
>>22054539Six Inch Tuna used to be my nickname.
>>22054550>strawman
>>22054539>that's great for you"Great" is relative.If you haven't been eating enough saturated fats for several months, then the meatball sub you described would be "great" for you
>>22054527How did he become the face of subway? Was he like so many viral celebrities before viral celebrities were a thing, and was completely manufactured?
>>22054527You must be in marketing, trying to spin shortchanging customers on sandwich length and anemic topping allowances as portion control is hilarious.
>>22054630I won't short change you with my length.
>>22054631Hard to when you're only selling 2 inches.
>>22054510Yes. It's just sandwich. Don't drink the soda or eat the chips or cookies and it's healthy.
>>22054603you compared a 6 inch tuna and a diet coke to a 12 inch meatball sub with a bunch of unnecessary shit on it plus chips plus a regular coke then argued that the meatball sub would kill you. your comparison was disingenuous. you dumped a man made of straw on my meatball sub and I'd like you to take it back.
>>22054617He was "the average Joe" who without disclosing it in ads that it was just a hyperrestricted die that went from something like 7k calories to 1.5k a day. To other normies that made it look like subway is healthy. He would then talk about fitness and whatnot in speeches to combat child obesity which is a good thing, despite the fact all he did was walk. I'm fact the only reason he ate at subway because it was the closest thing to his dorm in college
>>22054677in the uk the government told subway that they couldn't market their bread as actual bread, because of the ridiculously high sugar contentit would be interesting to see the fat and sodium content in their meat and sauces... many of the vegetables are also brined in saltfor fucks sake, it's fast food... no it isn't healthy... maybe a bit better than mcdonalds or whatever, but it isn't something you should be eating everyday, use some common sense
>>22054688>many of the vegetables are also brined in saltyou mean like... the pickles?
>>22054688No. Wrong. It was Ireland and it was about greed for tax money rather than any health concerns. Subway sandwiches can be healthy.From the BBC>The rolls used in Subway's hot sandwiches contain too much sugar to be considered bread, according to Ireland's Supreme Court.>Ireland's highest court made the ruling in a case about how the bread is taxed.>An Irish franchisee of the US company had claimed it should not pay VAT on the rolls it uses in heated sandwiches.>But the court ruled that because of the level of sugar in the rolls they cannot be taxed as bread, which is classed as a "staple product" with zero VAT.>Under Ireland's VAT Act of 1972, ingredients in bread such as sugar and fat should not exceed 2% of the weight of flour in the dough.>The five judges, who were considering an appeal by Bookfinders Ltd, a Subway franchisee based near Galway, concluded that in Subway sandwiches the sugar content is around 10% of the flour in the dough for both white and wholegrain rolls.>"Subway's bread is, of course, bread," said a spokesperson for Subway.>"We have been baking fresh bread in our stores for more than three decades and our guests return each day for sandwiches made on bread that smells as good as it tastes.">In Irish law, bread is considered a staple food and has a zero rate of VAT. Following the ruling, the rolls are subject to tax at 13.5%.
>>22054718>if you actually read the story of thing you find out everyone who ever told you about thing was wrongwhy does this keep happening
>>22054550>>22054684But the issue is that my whole point was that it has healthy and unhealthy options, then I made a high calorie/low nutrition option and a medium calorie/better nutrition option. My argument was that it has more healthy options than most fast food places but also has options that are markedly less healthy than a lot of fast food places.>>22054613And if you have been wandering through a desert for 2 days without water the water from the freshwater stream that's got an industrial site dumping cancer-causing chemicals into said stream is gonna save your life and probably will not even give you cancer.
>>22055415>freshwater stream>cancer-causing chemicalsYou contradicted yourself in your sentence.If Subway ingredients are filled with cancer causing chemicals, then that's a different discussion.
>>22055421Plenty of the world's freshwater streams have been polluted by industrial developments.
>>22054510OUR Farkin HERO
>>22055429okay, then yeah cancer ridden water is "great" for you if you're going to die from dehydration. It's a fact.Same way some monstrous meatball sub is "great" for you if you're lacking fat macros.
>>22054510its owned by the Doctor's Associates LLC so it must be healthy, doctors are here to keep us healthy and Fred Deluca was a doctor and his co founder was a doctor too!
>>22055475Fatasses take it real personal when you point out their fatass habits
>>22055532Fatasses generally aren't lacking in fat, so the scenario I've outlined would not apply
>>22054510It's just fast food. No better or worse than a burger. Salt, sugar, refined carbs, hydroculture vegetables, optimised for shelf life, transport and profitability instead of flavour and nutrition.You may just as well drink a pint of sugary, salty water instead.
>>22055554>Attacked by a 60 year old lmao what a weakling
>>22055547>even the vegetables are bad!Holy cope
>>22055547>hydroculture vegetablesThis is more expensive than traditionally grown vegetables, why would they do that?>You may just as well drink a pint of sugary, salty water instead."You might as well drink soda instead of eat" sure is a statement.
>>22054731Chinese whispers.
>>22054510Depends what you order. If you order a sub full of cold cuts and mayo thats 12 inches no way in hell.
>>22054687>He would then talk about fitness and whatnot in speeches to combat child obesityIn hindsight, that's pretty funny
>>22054539Tuna has a shitload of mercury and zero sugar drinks give you cancer and destroy your gut microbiome. >kill you faster than a Big Mac.kek rofl and lmao>>22054510Why are you namefagging on the cooking board OP??? >is subway healthyI don't know. I don't have one near me and haven't had Subway in years but I'd say probably fairly healthy for a fast food restaurant.
>>22056354Iced Tea without sugar isn't sweetened and you should tell that bit about Tuna to someone from Nippon.
>>22054510If you don't make a fatfuck slopwich, it can be
>>22056354>zero sugar drinks give you cancerbold claim bucko, im sure you've got a source for that....right?
>>22054687>without disclosing it in adsThe ads literally say it.
>>22056391I invite all the fat fuck anons on /ck/ to read up on some studies regarding this subject: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=aspartame+cancer&oq=aspartame+
>>22056439>studiesHow about I don't and just say your mother is a whore?
>>22056439>makes claim>gets asked for a source>tells them to do their own researchlike clockwork, kek
>>22054510>subway thread>jared mentioned like fucking clockwork. you spastic autists will never let this forced meme die off, eh? fucking bitches.
>>22056492>t. Jared
>>22056492He was literally the face of Subway for years. It's like talking about Wendy's without Clara Peller or Dave Thomas.
>>22054540Mcdonalds is healthy. The president told me so
>>22056502no this website has an unhealthy obsession with pedos. anons, for some reason feel the need to plaster it all over the boards in some ways or another. it's like people who like eating shit and smearing shit all over their body, it's a sexual thing.
>>22056565Anon… I think it might be you with the obsession.
>>22054584Cause of the smell?
>>22054684Holy shit, you are retarded
The sweet onion teriyaki sub used to be good af. What went so wrong?
>>22056685You grew up and it was never good
>>22054718>>22054731>>22055663>Under Ireland's VAT Act of 1972, ingredients in bread such as sugar and fat should not exceed 2% of the weight of flour in the dough>in Subway sandwiches the sugar content is around 10% of the flour in the dough>"it's a heckin tax grabarino!!" learn how to read you fucking retards
>>22054718>Subway sandwiches the sugar content is around 10% of the flour in the doughjesus christ.reminds me when the scots made cookies but called it shortbread to avoid the cookies tax
>>22056602I'm right and you are wrong. simple as. op don't care if subway is healthy or not, they just wanted to post that degenerate to get attention (WHICH HE IS GETTING) I wish you could see this subterfuge for what it really is; thinly veiled pedo dogwhistle, a beacon for all the pedos to see and converge to, like moths to a flame. A bit like reddit but less subtle.
>>22056702Ireland changed the classification of Subawya bread so they couod tax it more. Duh. What's so hard to understand?
>>22057004Ireland has subsidized public care for certain individuals with lower income, it makes total sense to me they would tax unhealthy products that leads to long term health issues which the public is footing the bill for but as I said, only low income individuals can apply for this. most people earn enough money to have medical insurance in and those cases, why the fuck should they be paying a tax on these eligible items? I'll tell you what it is; nanny government overreach.
>>22054718I don't get it. Is sugar even cheaper than flour? Why put that much sugar in?
>>22057041mouthfeel. subway bread is ultra-processed garbage made to trigger the dopamine release in your brain making you want more.
>>22055637you might as well just have two pints of guinness
>>22054510Depends what you put on the sandwich. If you're loading it with cheese and crap like mayo, sweet sauce or whatever stuff they have....no.
>>22054510if you avoid the nitrite cured deli meats and calorie dense condiments it's okish. the ratio of carbs to protein probably isn't great but if you're only eating a six inch with no other snacks in the day that's below the line of betes.
