Well, I for one have to agree, that if Subway wants to insult me as an American, than I for one will no longer buy anything from Subway.

Pretty insulting. But, well, the truth hurts.

We are a fat country, and getting even fatter. No doubt about it. No argument there.

One could get a good view of that just last night with the camera pans of all the various fat, lesbian liberals with wire frame glasses at the DNC Convention drooling over their speakers.

Michael Moore quote: “The only time I have been scared for my life has been going through a McDonald’s drive-thru.”
Yeah, I'm so sure he acquired his impressive lard collection from eating spring salads and rice cakes.

This is my favorite quote in the article:"Michael Moore quote: “The only time I have been scared for my life has been going through a McDonald’s drive-thru.”

Here is a guy who is an obese slob, condemning McDonalds for selling food that is fat. Hilarious!

Better yet, I think I'll go have them build me 3 or 4 sandwiches, then feign leaving my wallet in the car.

Why are we so fat?

Calories are much cheaper than they used to be.

Interestingly, the same link notes that the U.S., U.K. and Australia (three very fat countries according to official data) are the only countries that measure obesity accurately, by external evaluation. Other countries with lower official rates rely on self-reported claims about height and weight, which tend to be optimistic. In short, Americans are fatter than everyone else, but not by as much as is generally believed.

"The National Legal and Policy Center provided a translation of the tray-liner and announced that it would open an investigation into SUBWAY and its financial connections with the film “Super Size Me” and its director, comedian Morgan Spurlock."

??? An Investigation? Sorry folks, but the truth is AMERICANS ARE FAT.

We are a fat country...

Not true, and your statement is almost as prejudicial as theirs. Some Americans are very fat. Perhaps more Americans are obese than other nations, on a percentage basis. But "we are a fat country" taking it too far.
