No Tuna in Subway's Tuna Subs

I quit going to subway when they started airing their commercials with that lbqtxyz skank that hates America.

Integrity of nuclear genomic deoxyribonucleic acid in cooked meat: Implications for food traceability - PubMed

It is essential to isolate high-quality DNA from muscle tissue for PCR-based applications in traceability of animal origin. We wished to examine the impact of cooking meat to a range of core temperatures on the quality and quantity of subsequently isolated genomic (specifically, nuclear) DNA...

"Deoxyribonucleic acid quantity was significantly reduced in cooked meat samples compared with raw."

I know this seems so last century, but before writing accusatiry headlines, it would be nice if they figured out whether the tests the performed could even get a result.

How hard is this? Have they tried buying a can of tuna at the store and testing it?

Why bother, they got what they wanted, clicks, yep, clicks. They ruin reputations to get a few clicks...

It’s ground up McRib meat without the BBQ sauce

If you are ever able to tour a processed meat plant (hot dogs/pork fritters/Tuna salad ) you will be forever changed.
Years working in the refrigeration side of that industry shows you what to and not to eat out in the wild.

I do, are you implying you just will eat anything, just don't tell you what it is?

Anything is a little too broad but I have been known to go to a restaurant and order something with no idea what is.

I don't eat bread and very, very seldomly do I eat a wrap, so Subway is a no-go for me....but it's obviously not the meat that keeps me away.

A cool item in my collection. Unopened can of Soylent Green. Was a promo item for the movie. Pretty sure it just has candy inside. Never seen another. One of my favorite movies.

They do (or at least, used to) make sandwiches as a salad - no bread, in a bowl, on a bed of lettuce.

Candy? Maybe it has long pork in it.

That may be one of the best lines in a movie. "Soylent Green is People". Or maybe "How to Serve Man" from the Twilight Zone.

You mean you don't trust a mechanic as far as you trust a butcher?

I have eaten my share of cat.

 

[MRockwell]

Is it highly processed? Yes. Haven't you ever bought a can of tuna cat food?

FIFY


full disclosure: I have never had a tuna sammich at subway, but I have seen them being made. cat food is the first thing that comes to mind

What about the hamburger you guys are buying, what is in it? Most hamburger sold comes to the store, rough cut, in ten pound tubes for the store to grind to look good in the case. If you ask if they grind it fresh, they will say yes.

I try to buy hamburger from places that only grind it from "whole cuts" in the store. Quality hamburger from real chuck is expensive, rarely less than $4 a pound. Any hamburger less than that has all manor of parts in it, often including finely textured beef. (Think washing machine spin cycle on steroids that flings tiny particles of beef off the bones, tendons, etc. to get ever micro scrap of protein.) Buy what you like, but know the truth...

if you've ever purchased a cow from a farmer, you'll see the massive difference in quality. Store beef has MUCH more water/fat/stuff that winds up being the grease at the bottom of the pan. Not to mention the taste.
Get to know a good beef farmer and buy direct, with some buddies if you need to. And take up deer hunting.

Me too. Ever eaten at the street vendors in Tijuana? Those 50 cent tacos aren't made of beef.....

And in Korea, if you have had Cat Soju, you have drank Soju made with at least 10 cats. FACT.

Frankly, I've always had trouble finding ANY meat in Subway subs...

The absence of meat in Subway should come as no surprise.

Jared has been locked up for some time now.

He may have up close and personal contact with “meat”…
