Dear subway. I'm vegan, I can't eat what you sell. Stop advertising to me please.

Normal people would get it. Like you can't hope to sell a dildo at church.... But if you advertised correctly, you could sell dildos to people who want dildos!

Like by the side of the road next to a porn shop, you could advertise there. But okay what if you used to sell dildos a lot but then one of your customers wanted something different? Stop trying to sell them dildos! They want beads! Its still a dildo looking thing but ultimately, it's different.

So could you guys please add a tofu or seitan or beans option? Would that hurt? I fucking go to the malls with my wife and kids. Sell them the meats, sell me the fake meats. Is that too much to ask? Like my current only option is a side of fries if I go to McDonald's. Burger king gets it! They got the Vegan option.

And for fuch sakes, could your vegan option not be an empty salad? I hate that. Give me a biggy option with flavors. I'll eat healthy at home. I want olive garden infinity salad with croutons... But could you add Vegan pasta and mushrooms? Figure something up! I'm hungry!

A McDonald's order of fries is not vegan. They use beef flavoring in their fries except in India. source

Oh fantastic. Totally unnecessary. Like Here's a perfectly fine piece of starch! Even a vegan would buy it! But hold on, let me smear some dead animal juice on it!

Oh just perfect. WTF!!!!!!

I'm not vegan but I agree what the absolute fuck. It's like when I learned some jams weren't vegan. It's strawberry my guy. I've made strawberry jam and I never needed to add in cow.

So much random stuff just adds meat and meat by product and I'm just here thinking "why"? Is it just that cow bone and tendons are usually waste product and thus cheap? Massive subsidies extending all the way down?

No culture in history has eaten as much meat as we do. It's not usually a daily thing let alone something that's just kinda also in everything.

They be putting fish juice in our beer to make it clear and bones in our sugar to make it whiter. Our money has tallow in it.

You could argue both ways.

On the one hand, it is of course a very good thing to use all parts of the animal you killed to the largest possible extent.

I mean, imagine killing an animal for food and then even only using the tastiest bits and throwing away the rest?

On the other hand, of course, having a market for these "waste products" potentially acts as a subsidy for the meat itself, encouraging its consumption.

Mailed advertisements should be opt-in. So wasteful to begin with. I don't care about old people who need this to go shopping because they can't use a computer to save their lives. Get a subscription and leave me alone because I won't want it.

I'm not sure this is the right community for this rant, lol.

I'm a vegetarian who usually only eats Subway if I'm in bumfuck Egypt and there's no better option, because their salad on bread isn't any worse than their other options. Even if Subway did start carrying tofurky slices (the smoked tofurky slices are fantastic imo) I probably still wouldn't eat there regularly because Subway just isn't good anymore.

McDonald's has the McPlant in some markets but not mine, and economically it's their loss - whenever someone in my friend group wants fast food burgers we end up at Burger King because it hits the same cravings and BK has something I can eat.

Normal people would get it. Like you can’t hope to sell a dildo at church…

So ... you live in like an animal shelter or what is the analogy here?

I haven't been to subway in well over 5 years, and don't miss it. I'll still occasionally get some vegan pepperoni and a big sub bun and make a pizza sub with leftover pizza sauce. Doin it yourself is way better than subway ever was anyways.
