Michelle Obama is getting a new ally in her campaign to get kids to eat more fruits and vegetables.
The first lady was expected to announce Thursday that the Subway sandwich chain will spend $41 million over three years to encourage finicky young eaters to eat more food that comes out of the ground or grows on trees. The announcement was being made at a Subway shop near the White House.
Subway will only offer a kids' menu that mirrors federal standards for school lunches. That includes offering apples on the side and low-fat or nonfat plain milk or water as a default beverage....

Either somebody at Subway or their PR firm got paid off to allow this to happen or their blind love of the mystery man drove this. Subway is already being harmed and the announcement is only a few days old. What the campaign does, among other things, is no implicitly suggest that Subway’s food had something wrong with it!
Their food was mushy and mediocre at best. Maybe it’ll be the same food, just with First Dieter Michelle’s face menacing from the wallpaper.
Whoever runs their ad campaings and the management that allowed this to happen should be canned and the campaign retracted asap (find a reason - say you don’t want to show political bias) or the Subway will find itself on the skids.
They’ve been very busy keeping their FB page “clean”...the vast majority of the comments are now “positive” and directed towards “hateful” conservatives...it was quite different a few days ago when news of this first broke...
I already contacted their customer service and told them I won’t support a business that teams up with a lying, damnable hypocrite like her...
hey nascarnation,
noticed your tag line
you seen film of the first dork swing a golf club?
looks like an 8 yearold little girl
LOL my SIL is a club pro.
In 2011 he tabulated that Caliph Baraq played more rounds than he did.
Mine too, in some ways. Hard to find a large hoagie sandwich anywhere else for $5 or less.
Do you have Jimmy John’s where you live?

not close by but i think I’ve seen a few of em in West Palm anf Tampa.
Adios Subway. You done laid down with the wrong dog.
This could go down as one of the greatest advertising blunders since Netflix.
Exactly. I even respected them for not bowing to pressure to drop Phelps.(although I think Phelps is not a very exciting spokesperson to have) If I walk into a Subway and see a picture of her, then I will turn around and probably skip lunch.
to add to the refrain, Subway can do whatever they want....so can I ....so no more Subway and I loved their cold cut combos with oil and vinegar...
Yes, and I think I’ll be going there today.
Easy enough to make for yourself at home if you get some nice rolls and fresh sliced deli meat. I sprinkle a little oregano on too.
Subway's sales will most likely tank as nobody appreciates another act of entitlement for Michele and most are really tired of her overexposure.
IIRC it’s called Doctor’s Associates and was started as a tax write-off by a group of dentists, physicians and chiropractors.
Ditto for me.
Doesn’t seem like much of a write off now. Bet they are sorry they tried that.
