FLR 045: Subway – A Not So Underground Investigation

INGREDIENTS OF THE DAY:  Cultured Wheat Flour, Ferrous Gluconate, Alum, Calcium Silicate Today, I return to investigating a fast food restaurant.  The target is Subway, long heralded as a healthy choice for those consumers seeking convenience food that’s a cut above the rest.  But, here’s the question, does Subway live up to its self-promoted reputation.  Is its menu really good for you or is it just another well-disguised example of ultra-professed food?  Join me for a deep dive into a Subway meal to answer that question.  Along the way, I’ll look at Subway’s history and talk about some new food ingredients.  Show Notes:  To Contact Show:  [email protected] Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/prophetofprocessedfood/?ref=bookmarks The podcast can be subscribed to at the iTunes store or using most of the podcast apps available for smart phones or tablets.  Just search under Food Labels Revealed.
