Subway In Schools: Chain In Early Talks To Open In UK School

The Telegraph reports that Subway is in early talks with a U.K. school to open a lunch counter for students inside the building.

An administrator was inspired to speak to the chain after he realized that students were visiting a nearby Subway during lunch, according to the Daily Mail.

While a school might seem like a strange location for a Subway, Subway is known to have several unexpected locations. Last year, Nation's Restaurant News rounded up 10 non-traditional Subway locations which included a riverboat cruise, a hospital and a car wash.

And, in fact, there are other schools that currently serve Subway sandwiches. Last year, Subway made a deal with schools in Juneau, Alaska. Cold sandwiches are offered to students.

The U.K. is Subway's largest market outside of the U.S.

What an absolutely horrendous idea. Subway is nothing but a pile of mass produced garbage. When it first opened they had real bread, real meat, real sauces, fresh-cut vegetables.

Today - they are but a shade of their once great self.

1) The bread is like sawdust pretty sure they changed from yeast-based to baking soda/powder. Flavorless and if you get it "toasted/super-nuked" it turns to jagged dust. If you look at the nutritional info it is appauling - 500mg-1200mg salt in the bread alone. Thats 1/2tsp - 1tsp BEFORE you add anything on the bread. (Daily limit for a healthy adult is 1500mg.) I bake bread, I only put 700mg between 2 loaves! There is NO NEED!

2) Over processed salt heavy ingredients.

3) "Roast-chicken" is like 10% meat, flat and rubbery - I think there may be more meat in a McDonalds Chicken Nugget

4) Pre-cut vegetables in vacuum bags - I think the only thing cut "fresh" are the tomatoes only because they would turn to mush in a vacuum bag.

5) Sauces are watery, lacking in flavor super salty thats about it. (200mg/tbsp sauce) Even the light mayo is 10% salt!!!!!

6) TOOOOO much salt!!!!! The average sub works out to be between 1500-3000mg of salt.

I dont think any food chain should be able to enter the school system, personally. It should be fresh prepared food daily. Not frozen, not nuked, not anything but FRESH!
