Fast Food Advertisements



This ad sways the reader to believe that Subway is so healthy you can actually lose weight from simply eating it, but in reality Subway advertisements tend to abuse to popular Jared Fogle story to appeal to the readers emotions. The Subway diet is in fact not good for your body, and some sandwiches on the menu despite Subway's claims of freshness, are extremely unhealthy.  In the ad readers see a delicious-looking sandwich in the background that is stuffed with chicken and fresh vegetables. The ad makes the sandwich look good and surrounds it with slogans that promote weight loss and freshness, but in reality a lot of sandwiches on the Subway menu are incredibly unhealthy.  The meatball marinara, a  popular Subway sandwich, has an jaw-dropping 1,160 calories and 46 grams of fat. That's worse than the McDonald’s Big Mac which only has 590 calories and 34 grams of fat. These statistics are really important to know when trying to be swayed by fast food scams. This advertisement claims that Subway and Jared have started a weight loss revolution, but how could this be possible with menu items loaded with fat and calories? The ad definitely doesn't tell the whole truth and readers should definitely know that all Subway sandwiches are not as healthy as they are made out to be. Sometimes they find it necessary to leave certain things out of their ads in order to shed a better light on their place of business. Not to say that they are actually false advertising , just that perhaps they may have overlooked the entire truth. Things that were never mentioned in this advertising about Jared losing all of his weight, was the fact that Jared would actually skip breakfast, eat a small Turkey subway sandwich for lunch, and a large vegetable delight subway for dinner along with some baked potato chips and a diet soda according to an interview Jared had once done with Richard Schlesinger.

  2. This post really stuck out to me because I love eating Subway. I thought most of the subs were some of the most healthy meals on campus, but, after reading this, I will think twice on what I order from Subway.
