sixties saintee Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Many food additives are there to make the food last longer, cost less, look more appealing, change the colour, make the ingredients taste better than they are. All of which are supposed to make you buy more, spend more money and generate more profit. I can't think of a single food additive that's good for the person eating it. Additives half the reason people are so overweight, people not aware how it affects them, Think back to pre Mdonalds and fast food outlets, hardly anyone was overweight unless they had a Medical condition.

Edstar101 Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I like the occasional Subway, despite the additives / calories But, then again, I don't drink much alcohol, and cycle to work most days, so counter balance the intake Folk who get fat eat all the 'bad' stuff (Subway, McD's etc) but also don't get off their arse to do anything to balance it out, then blame it on the company's who serve them (after they are obviously dragged kicking and screaming into that establishment) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranmere Saintee Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I seldom drink, cannot stomach McDonalds/Subway/KFC/Frank & Benny's/Nandos etc and until a couple of weeks ago when my knees started giving me gyp I walked at least 60 miles a week but am still a slightly fat bar-steward so who do I blame??

Fair enough there's loads of chemicals and shite in fast food ,but how can anybody possibly claim that not eating it you won't be a fat b****** anyway? Nobody actually knows these things it's probably true but nobody really knows , it's all claims from so called experts . I'm no great fan of fast foods (apart from the ever so doss KFC ) but if it tastes good in my book it's there to be devoured. Your a long time dead.

babychunder Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I was that fat b******. Eating too much of everything, especially meat, and not getting any exercise. My medical in Feb 2014 the guy who checked me out actually I knew from 30 years ago and had lost touch so it was a surprise to see him again. At the end he said good news and bad news Thommo. Gimme the bad first I said. "You've got necrotising fasciitis, aka the flesh-eating bug". Fack me what's the good news? "You've got 40 years to live you fat b******," So in March last year I decided to cut out meat, caffeine, junk food, have two days off the piss every week and walk 40 miles a week. It worked, I lost five stone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali91 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Subway is good for lunch. Can be a bit hit and miss depending on how well the staff make your sandwich. Footlong chicken breast, cheese and toasted, lettuce, peppers, jalapeños, gherkins and Mayo. On Nandos, people seem to judge it against the wrong places, it's a place to go when you want a casual meal out. A chicken pitta with halloumi, piri chips and some wings is a cracking meal.

Carron Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 My Mother is anti Subway (aka That Sandwich Place), says there are two sandwich places across the road, or Greggs and Goodfellow and Steven, and that they (Subway) will do them out of business. babychunder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlickDT Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Subway was mobbed the other day. A prime example of why small quality businesses can really struggle in this country. I'm not against Subway myself (although the additives and crap in their food puts me off personally), but when there are places like Duo and Delicious producing a much better standard of food it's a shame to see places like Subway clearly prospering.

SlickDT Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Had the best sandwich I've ever had from Duo on Wednesday. It was phenomenal. I'd personally never set foot in a subway when there is a place like Duo 5 minutes walk away. Dave H 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
