I read up a bit about the Subway thing. It's about taxing the sandwich as a luxury item. While you can debate the sugar content, when you compare it to cake things begin to get weird. You might be able to go in and buy only the bread, but I've never seen anyone do this, people got to bakeries for that. The bread is prepared with meat, veg and/or cheese, things that aren't confectioneries. A cake, however, is not considered a confectionery (this ruling it due to a previous court battle). A cake can be smothered in sugar-loaded frosting and still not be considered a confectionery or luxury item. In short, a sandwich is a luxury food, but cake is an essential food item with indisputably less nutritional value than a sandwich. (Marie Antoinette was right after all!) But this isn't even the thrust of the ruling, it's an attack upon an company for being American in origin, even though the franchises will be owned by Irish citizens. Further, it's inexpensive. At least here in the UK, it's much cheaper than in the states, even with the exchange rate (maybe it's more expensive in Ireland, I'm not sure). As an inexpensive food item, lower income people are more likely to purchase Subway. The ruling essentially whacks a 23% sales tax onto the cost of the ENTIRE sandwich, not the bread alone. TL;DR: This is an attack upon an American corporation that proportionately impacts lower income families the hardest.

You will be disgusted by Chipotle and it’s lack of selection and it’s complete and total blandness in comparison. It’s unreal. I went back into a Chipotle after having gone to Freebirds for so long thinking, “Eh, this is closer. I don’t feel like going all the way to Freebirds. Chipotle is pretty much the same.” Wow, was I disappointed! Meat, lettuce, cheese, beans.... Cool selection bro. 🤮. Chipotle is trash in comparison. It’s funny because they began in California, but I had never even heard of them until I was living in Texas for a few months. We had one here by my house until this last year. Currently I live in Compton. (Yes, that Compton.) And we had one over in Redondo Beach. Not a horrible drive for good grub. Loved that spot. But get this.... They shut down, because they literally left California! Every single one of their stores said, “Fuck this, we’re out!” and boned right the fuck out of Cali. 😢😢😢 I love this state... But my god are we run by a bunch of fucking incompetent morons.

And I do mean LITERALLY the only person in my 41 years say they thought In and Out was garbage! I’ve heard people say, “Eh, it’s OK.” And kind of be indifferent to it. But just flat out bad garbage? You need to stop doing shows high as fuck.
