I've only been to a Subway outlet once and was amazed by how much of it was processed meat - a relative said the same recently. Go into a good independent sandwich shop and all the meat will be unprocessed (except where expected) and you get more options like unusual cheeses. Subway has taken what was already a fast food (the sandwich) and made it even more generic.

>If it's 50%, that's a serious level of carbs An ounce of tofu has about 0.5g of carbs. I don't think it's going to add more than a few grams for an entire sandwich.
You win the NASA award for mixing metric and imperial in the most nonsensical way.

Yeah...I don't see too much to be outraged about here. If you want to be upset about adding soy to the chicken you eat, be upset about the soy they add to the chicken before they kill it. Soy isn't part of the natural diet for chickens, so feeding it to them means also feeding them antibiotics. If anything, lowering the percentage of chicken that's raised in that way would make it healthier.

> Soy isn't part of the natural diet for chickens, so feeding it to them means also feeding them antibiotics. Do you have any more info on this? I was under the impression that giving chickens antibiotics was illegal and so feckless that it isn't even worth breaking the law for. I could be wrong as well, honestly.

they expect what the label says. And you can process chicken and still have 100% chicken.
The other restaurants tested had 85-90% chicken instead of 50%. The chicken ends up ground up into tiny bits and bound with other things - basically salt and sugar - so I don't think it is possible to have 100% chicken post-processing. The difference is something like the difference between a raw plank and particleboard. IMO, if it is 85-90% chicken then labeling it "chicken" is not unreasonable.
Just illegal in most countries I think
