Subway has become the supplier of subs at the lowest cost. What this means is that bean counters dictate what the subs contain. It's never top line products and they add fillers where ever they can without killing the flavor 100%. It's not a surprise that they use soy. It's just unfortunate that they have to get to this point. I don't know if it's universal but my local subway has reduced the diameter of the bread ro…

Well, corporate bean counters would have sold heroin to children if it was profitable and they could get away with it. That's the thing, though: Subway should not be able to get away with it.

I'm amazed so many people are fine with the other ingredient being soy; I could go on for hours as to why that's among the worst things to be substituted with. -95% of soy in the US is GMO, lacking any genetic variance and little make-up of microorganisms (good bacteria.) -It's also a horrible source of fats, and more in particular the omega-6 to 3 ratio is incredibly hostile to basic function on the cellular level.…
