Subway now selling vegan subs in the UK

I remember the wonderful days when buying a sandwich meant just "buying a sandwich".

Now there are halal, vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, low fat, and all manner of nut and soya allergies that must be specially catered for.

Customers go into violent convulsions, allergic reactions, political posturing, and complex legal suits if there is just a trace of sesame seed in their lunchtime snack.

Looks like the football pools

I wonder why we never heard of all those allergies and trendy illnesses when i was a kid. All we had then was asthma and nits.

my mum went into town --shopping for the day--left dad in charge of me. bad idea. later in the day he thought i had gone missing...however he found me curled up fast asleep in a hole in the dirt in the back yard.

I agree that kids probably do get too molly coddled from the real world. But at the same time, I think a lot of kids simply died from undiagnosed allergies. I think that definitely happens in the province where autopsies and death certificates are not the most thorough of processes .

Surely "PorkAdobo" and "bigmac" should be banned from posting on this thread

Only joking

Maybe they just want to see what they're missing.

Don't forget MarkHam.

I was in a house party and the host was like,

"If ever there are vegans, pestacarians or with special diets, just let me know."

I told them I do have a special diet.
I'm allergic to getting hungry. I need extra portions.

No one laughed.

Man, them lot need to experience what it was like to have no food on the table or having to survive with just canned goods and pancit canton.

When asked if I eat a healthy diet, I always answer Yes I do, I eat anything my wife cooks. It's best for my health

wife made me a mango pie yesterday, she said it looks like a large crab, Bit into it and almost broke a tooth. She should have said it's as hard as a crabs shell.

My only experience with a vegan lifestyle is a friend of mine. When i first knew her she loved a bacon sandwich..and steak pie. Then her teenage son decided he was vegan ..so she followed suit. Now..6 years later..shes got every fashionable illness only women seem to get.

Everyone I have met who has become vegan have been incredibly positive about their new eating habits and the feel-good factor that comes with it.

The popularity of veganism is growing very quickly so I suppose that tells a tale.

Ouch!

The only self-proclaimed vegan I have ever known was pale, anemic, and had a pervading body odour of decomposing vegetables, she was not getting a balanced diet.
She always talked about chickpeas, I guess that a Subway Vegan-burger might have helped.

I have not met any vegan person like that.
I also take vitamin B2 and people have said I look more healthy since becoming vegan.
I have also had vastly increased levels of energy and feel younger.
What's not to like about that?

It is easy to think negatively about something one hasn't tried and the only way to really know is to do it for yourself.
I have never felt better as I have no toxins from meat in my body.

"Those who feel it know it"

"Toxins from meat", what are you on about?

If you want to make lifestyle choices, that is up to you, and I respect you for it, as long as you respect those who like a decent steak, a bacon buttie, a ham and cheese sandwich, fish and chips, or a peanut butter and blue Stilton toastie.

Do a little bit of searching and the results are there.
I made the point because it was how I felt, not how other people should feel.
