Subway isn't good for you.

Marketing is a powerful tool. The point of a marketer is to influence the consumer in buying the product or service, with promotions, slogans, commercials and social media campaigns. Subway has been able to target health savvy people looking for a quick meal. Comparing McDonalds to Subway, we can assume Subway is better, right? Why? Because we are eating sandwiches instead of greasy hamburgers?

I got my inspiration to write about Subway because the other day I was with one of my friends grabbing a bite to eat at Subway. (This was my first time eating out in MONTHS). After eating a meatball sub with American cheese, I began not to feel so well. To the toilet I went!  It wasn’t only the meatball sub that caused this problem, I’ve had other sandwiches from Subway that have caused the same reaction. Therefore, I wanted to do some extra research...this is what I found:

A blogger states:

1.     Their slogan is "eat fresh."
Ask any Subway worker and they'll say that their meats and their vegetables are all delivered prepackaged and stored away in the refrigerator for days at a time. There really isn't anything fresh about that. If you just google this you'll find different accounts of people seeing mold in the roast beef being displayed or even stale breads.

2.     Their wheat bread isn't really whole wheat.
Anyone can tell you that true whole wheat bread is supposed to be healthier than white bread. Not Subway. Subway wheat bread has the same amount of calories and has more fat and carbs than their white bread. What's interesting to note is that Subway used to or still continues just to DYE their white bread to look like wheat bread. Disgusting.

3.     Their breads contain High Fructose Corn Syrup. That is disgusting. They add this cheap alternative to sugar to give it taste. Why would bread need some cheap sugary liquid? What's sad is that 90% of the breads in your grocery store are now using HFCS. Read any of the popular bread brands, you'll see it.

4.       Subway’s meats are all turkey-based!

Life is about personal choices, food is no exception. We eat “on the go” because we don’t have enough time in the day. We eat what’s convenient. Subway has been able to market their product for these types of people.

Subway might not bother your stomach but next time you go look at what your consuming and really analyze the process Subway has to take in order to get those meats to that store. What type of meat is Subway using? Is it fress? What about their bread? 

 

 Think about it. It’s still categorized as a fast food chain…is it really healthy?
