[QUOTE=tallperson][QUOTE=lizwil98]I can see absolutely nothing wrong with Subway. Its a bun - can be healthy whole wheat, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers plus meat. What on earth could anybody see wrong with that? Also pizza. I have heard that pizza is a really healthy meal as well. Of course, you can't have 4 lbs of meat and cheese, but in itself, pizza is not unhealthy.

Pizza is unhealthy by comparison of carbs, fat and protein - i.e. a basic nutrition index. Cheese in Canada is so over processed and additive/colour loaded it makes it a lot worse, and sugar is added to tomato paste here in greater quantities than is actually necessary.

Subway is not too good either, but you have some control as to what you put in the Subs of course:

I thought we were talking about school lunches in Canada. Someone mentioned Subway day and pizza day and said it was unhealthy food. I just disagreed with that. At my granddaughter's school, every so often, not even once a month, they have a sub day or a pizza day. They prepay and preorder the food and its brought to the school.

Once the kids get in highschool they seem to have unlimited money for lunches. If I go to Quiznos around lunch time, there are always kids that look about 15 in there ordering $8 worth of lunch stuff - subs, drinks, chips etc. etc. That must get pretty expensive over a month!

I assume the parents must give them the money. Someone commented that the parents are all at work earning money to pay for school lunches that they wouldn't have to pay for if they weren't at work!!
