Subway To Remove Yoga Mat Chemical From Their Fresh-Baked Bread

Walking past one of New York City's 372 Subway franchises, it's impossible not to get a whiff of The Smell. The Smell is like hugging long lost Uncle Juno, who always seemed to wear the delicious scent of almond croissants with his tweed jacket—hey is there something funny about old Uncle Juno? Did he always have a cock eye? Why is he speaking in a monotone? The Smell triggers a pavlovian yearning for yeast but also a deep suspicion of the artificial, the impostor. The Smell also contains a chemical used in yoga mats—but not for long!

Azodicarbonamide is not a bangin' new Red Hot Chili Peppers song, it is an ingredient used in shoes and other objects we don't traditionally chew and swallow, and it's also found in Subway's bread. The FDA has deemed the substance safe for America's billy goat guts, but it's banned in the UK, Europe, and Australia. More than 67,000 people have signed a petition asking Subway to remove the ingredient from it's American bread.

I'll never be able to look at Subway the same way ever again...

I seriously never understood how they became popular in the first place.

Subway is just as bad as those other fast food places but they like to hide behind the image of healthier choices...please. Check their ingredients and you will know.

Let me guess friend you bake your own bread and make your own meatballs in the back yard.

Quizno's was better. I'm just saddened that Subway stole Quizno's toasted sub swag and ran with it to the point that Quizno's is damn near out of business.

I just f*ck with the bodega Boar's Head subs heros anyways.

Hey...don't let me say anything, I'll let Jared take it from here!

Why add the chemical, anyway?

Dough conditioners allow companies to pass off chemically processed cheap food as “freshly baked” because it recreates perfect, evenly packed air pockets within the dough, improving the texture after coming out of large industrial machines from processing. If a company uses azodicarbonamide as a flour bleaching agent it speeds up the processing, making bread larger and whiter than normal.

No, for the most part, you can get the same or better from the many delis all over the place who get fresh baked bread.

I've always had an unhealthy dislike for this man for some reason...

The petition came from this website http://foodbabe.com/ It always has good info on harmful ingredients, among a lot of other things (recipes, organic living, etc)
