Is Subway as healthy as you think it is? Is it becoming a fast food chain?

 We are against Subway

Why?

-Subway is not as healthy as you think it is, because their sandwiches aren’t the best health wise choices for example their menu if they are trying to promote healthy eating then they would not serve sandwiches that contain High fructose corn syrup.

-Since their prices are so cheap they must be using the cheapest and worst quality produce in order for them to make a profit.

-We also found out that all of their produce is genetically modified. And since their meat and chicken isn’t naturally grown it is hormone fed.

-If a company who is encouraging a healthy diet they would not serve sandwiches that are not healthy for example a meatball marinara, BLT, and many more.

-They also serve white bread, which is not healthy because it is bleached wheat. 

-Eating anything that is bleached is not good for anyone!

-They are also promoting fresh food when everything is frozen and the microwaved right in front of peoples faces!!

-So not only is this company falsely advertising but they are lying to innocent people who are assuming their food is good for you.

Thesis:

Subway is harmful to people because it contains genetically engineered foods and it also contains High fructose Corn Syrup. It might taste and look good at the moment but it can lead to many dangerous concerns in the future.

Is to make people more aware of how subway isn't really what you think it is. That subway is advocating a healthy menu when really most of the foods contain corn fructose syrup. Since subway is very reasonable, they cannot afford to buy expensive produce so therefore they use hormone fed produce and genetically engineered vegetables. People are also not aware that in the long run if they keep eating foods that are genetically modified then eventually it can lead to health problem in the future because of this. http://www.good.is/post/confession-i-hate-myself-for-eating-at-subway/

 1. Food Allergy Symptoms Increase Dramatically

According to scientific research, it has been shown that those who eat genetically modified foods tend to see an increase in their allergic reactions to the types of foods they are already allergic too. By eating these genitically modified foods people also form allergies to foods which they were never allergic to before.

2. Bodily Toxicity Increases

As individuals ingest more and more genetically modified foods and organisms into their body it has been shown that the bodies toxicity increases which leads to a ton of other potentially serious health problems. As stated by NaturalNews.com it has been shown that there is a definite link between Obesity, Cancer and Toxicity.

3. Negative Reproductive Effects

In lab tests done on animals there were cases where once the animals ingested genetically modified food they became completely sterile in a matter of weeks. What was interesting in fact was that in some cases these animals were force fed the food because they didn’t want to eat it themselves naturally.

4. Negative Effects To Digestive System

They are finding that GMO’s are a breeding ground for bacteria and virus’s and since the digestive system is where the body is exposed when ingesting these harmful foods, reversing the damaging effects of these foods is nearly impossible. In other cases on mice and rats, there is documented proof that the digestive system grows bigger for some strange reason.

5. Unknown Genetic Effects On Humans

The jury is still out on all of the known causes about how Genetically Modified Organisms will negatively affect the greater human race, so it would be best to avoid them at all costs knowing the long term health risks of ingesting these foods on a regular basis.

6. Death

In some cases death has also been a challenge in working with GMO foods where rats and mice die in a matter of weeks by eating genetically modified food.

As everything adds up over time, and the more these genetically modified foods are pushed on us as Americans, knowing the dangers going in and actively speaking out against it may save more lives now and in the future.
