SANDWICHES IN THE NEWS PART 4
On February 7th, reports that the Food Babe had beaten subway surfaced online.
Wait, what?
The Food Babe is a blog (riddled with grammatical errors) run by Vani, a.k.a. the Food Babe. After some investigation, she started an online petition asking Subway to remove a chemical from their bread – a chemical also found in yoga mats.
Azodicarbonamide.
Neat.
The petition was posted on February 4th. By the 7th, it had received 78,000 signatures.
According to LA Weekly, Subway has already begun removing the chemical from their bread – but not because the Food Babe told them to.
From LA Weekly:
“We are already in the process of removing azodicarbonamide from our bread as part of our bread improvement process,” Subway said on Facebook on Wednesday. “While the ingredient is approved by the USDA and FDA, it will be removed from all our breads soon.”
Woohoo! Power to the people!
Or, maybe not.
I don’t know.
I have no idea what azodicarbonamide is.
Here’s what I had at Subway:
Chicken Bacon & Ranch Melt: Chicken, Bacon, cheese, lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, pickles, cucumbers, jalapenos, ranch & buffalo sauce.
It did not taste like a yoga mat. It did not taste all that great, either.
Power Goes Out (to eat) 
Your Subway sandwich looks almost identical to the sandwiches in your header photo. You’ve probably just grown accustomed to the yoga mat taste.
Hey! I made those sandwiches in the header! Maybe my photography was just really flattering.
