    As someone who likes a good subway every once in a while, there are definitely a few things you should refrain from ordering. Chicken comes to mind.

    Also, the recipe for bread they use in the US is different from many other countries because in those other countries the American version can’t legally be called bread. (I think it had to do with the sugar content)

    Subway also has a history of being pretty hostile towards anyone who speaks against their “healthy fast food” narrative. I mentioned chicken above, well they sued CBC for reporting on a study that found Subway chicken was only about 50% chicken DNA, with the rest being soy protein.

    They were also sued a couple years back by someone claiming their tuna wasn’t really tuna, but that case was dismissed by the plaintiff, citing pregnancy complications making it difficult to continue.

      I think me not eating meat anymore has a lot to do with the way I perceive Subway, I remember trying their meatball sandwich a couple of times and not liking it, it tasted weird to me but I know people who liked it so I didn’t pay much attention to it. Nowadays I just order a sandwich stuffed with as many vegetables as possible, or their soy protein one.

        I think their meatballs are alright. Definitely very sweet though, which I’m sure is by design.

        I like the sandwiches but I don’t eat there very often because, at least in my area, they’re very expensive, even by modern fast food standards.
