Probably anyone who was 425 pounds would lose weight by eating 2,000 calories a day and walking a few miles. But when those 2,000 calories come from two small Subway sandwiches, the fast food chain will embrace you with yellow and green arms. "Fittingly," in the year 2000 Subway began running ads with the newly svelte Jared Fogle. His fame is rivaled only by the enormous pair of old jeans with whom he shares the spotlight.

Dear Subway, stop ignoring me

By Jared Fogle

 

I admit it: The “Five Dollar Footlong” commercials are better than anything you’ll find in my body of work since I’ve been at Subway.

And no, I’m not including the new ones with the construction workers and the giggling office girls; those ones are like poop in my mouth - which is to say, while they don't totally displease me, they don't live up to my expectations either.

So, it is no great surprise that Subway has stopped calling me lately. I kind of feel like that fat kid in your dorm back in college, the one with the massive porn collection; all the guys pretended to be friends with him so they could borrow his videos, but then once they ran out of new videos to borrow, they went back to ignoring the boy. But the boy shall not forget the wrongs that were done to him. No, the boy shall remember...

I bet Peter Griffin doesn't sleep in Subway storerooms because they make him feel safe

Thanks, Subway. I’ve never felt more used than when I saw that Peter Griffin from The Family Guy touting Subway’s new sandwich—’The Feast’.

Where’s your goddamn integrity Subway? What won’t you do to sell a sandwich? I gave up my livelihood for years, eating nothing but bland turkey, shredded lettuce, and plasticy green peppers. Now this fat-ass cartoon character steals my steam and you have the gall to rub it in my face.

Well, it looks like Bob Evans is no longer with us. He is dead at age 89.

Biscuits and gravy, sausages, cheeseburgers, meatloaf, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, chicken-fried steak — how did this guy even make it to 40?

With a proper diet, I bet he could have lived to a ripe old age of 140! Then, could you imagine all the things Mr. Evans could have accomplished?

Don't stop believing ... in your self

So the great HBO series Soprano’s wraps up, and everyone can’t stop talking about the way it ended. Me, I can’t get over their dinner!

(Spoiler Alert!)
Onion rings? Come on, Tony! Why not get a family-sized veggie sub you can split with the rest of the table? Or a six-inch turkey for yourself? I wish I could talk to Tony and let him know that he doesn’t have to be overweight his entire life. And, more importantly, he doesn’t have to sacrifice taste to get there. With some careful dietary modifications, in a few months, he’d be the envy of the New York families!

It looks like you can’t just lock up anyone these days, even if they are a potential terrorist! Now Mr. Bush is stuck hoping the legal system doesn’t let this fish get away.

But you know what?

It’s kind of like those fad diets.

Sure, maybe the president swore off carbs (Miranda rights) and that worked for a while (terrorist plots foiled), but now his body (Legislative and Judicial branches) are telling him he can’t do this forever. That’s why fad diets are dangerous- they might work for a while, but ultimately you end up cheating your body in a way it’s not expecting. Eat less, exercise more. (checks and balances) That’s the key! And it doesn’t hurt to visit your doctor (constitution) every once in a while!
