Not sure if you can see this poster very clearly but here is one of their "Mastering Hemophilia Winning Freedom" posters.

Apparantly Bayer does make a product to address hemophilia. I'm now uncertain if perhaps the 1st 2 scenes weren't as my memory recalls or if I'm simply mistaken. If I see the ad again, or if you happen to catch it, the first scene and message is the one I thought referenced 'homophobia'. The 3rd and fourth scenes seemed to jump to the medical treatment. If it referenced homophobia, there's plausible deniability. If 1st scene is hemophilia, then it's my mistake.
Bayer is pushing their research right now because of the rise in opposition to animal testing. They are showing the good things that come from medical and other types of research.
It's just fresh vegetables, every fastfood joint has to transport and store some fresh vegetables, if nothing else they need tomatos for the deluxe sandwiches. Most of the non-burger fastfood joints (like Subway) get a delivery of stuff every day (burger joints usually get by on two deliveries a week, one that has everything and one that's just refrigerated goods). The reason the all healthy food fastfood joint will never be invented is there's no market for it, there's just not that many people hooked on healthy food and the ones that are look down their nose at fastfood and wouldn't go there anyway.
The subs you get from the Publix supermarket deli beat Subway's like a rented mule.
Thse deliveries add up. The difference between making one giant delivery a month (frozen burgers, buns, etc) and two giant deliveries a week (fresh veggies, fruits, etc) is huge. Also, fruits and veggies go bad. There's a lot of spoilage.
I recently ate at a fast food health food store (independent). I had a salad, "health shake" and something that looked like ice cream. The total was close to $20. That's more than double the average fast food franchise purchase.
Spot on, SA. The best sub shops are the local M&P places. They don't skimp on the meat and trimmings. The place just north of me piles it up 2", easy. 37 types of subs to choose from. Screw Subway and I'm not even thinking about going to Quiznos, based upon what other posters on this thread have said about it.
Off topic. I just got back from my local fire dept, who are having a BBQ. Pit beef, BBQ ham, BBQ turkey, piled-up 4" on fresh kaiser rolls. The place was packed and lines were forming out into the parking lot. Those guys know what BBQ is all about. I need a cold Rolling Rock to finish this one off.
Life is good.
I'll be watching for it. It would seem odd to have either word there unless it is as 'Harmless Teddy Bear' says in #38 and Bayer has a hemophilia treatment (Kogenate FS) that they are promoting.

I think you are right. This is just a marketing ploy with the added benefit of being a pre-emptive strike against obesity lawsuits.
Caveat emptor, anyway.
I still love a good Schlotzky's original sandwich. Wish they had one closer to were I live!
The one in Wake Forest NC has Blimpie which I think is much better than Subway.
The deliveries happen already. Nobody does one giant delivery a month. McDonalds does one a week that's all things (frozen, dry, refrigerated) except buns and another a week that's just refrigerated, they have buns delivered 5 days a week, buns are only good for 3 days and take up a HUGE quantity of space thus why they get them delivered constantly. Place like Subway and Quiznos have stuff delivered either 5 days a week or every single day depending. I've worked in both types of fastfood, both burger joints and sub shops, I know how the stocking process works and the stocking process would work just as well for an all health food store, all fast food places have to deal with veggies so all their stocking processes can keep the veggies coming in frequently enough to control spoilage.
That health food store you went to ripped you off. You could get a salad at McD and the milk shakes aren't milk shakes anymore and the ice cream is actually frozen yogurt. You could have eaten just as healthy for a lot less.
"No wonder that fat slob lost all that weight eating there."
That is a good thing. That is their point about Jared*.
*That fat slob is a human being named Jared.
Buy one get one free, and half off are in almost every newspaper, every week.
Thanks for that info. Very informative. Are deliveries calculated at the POS and transmitted directly to a distribution center in most fast food operations?
The health food place wasn't bad -- remember, this is Manhattan, so it's going to be more expensive. That said, I prefer diners to health food or fast food.
The idea that I had was a self-service juicer. The health food store employees always look like they're having a good time using the juicer. If someone were to put a juicer out with a selection of fruits, veggies etc I bet people would use it.
.....here........
Ah hah! You're just a shill for the hemopheliac agenda! :)
Although the idea of Bayer being a cure for homophobia is pretty damn amusing.
To call Subway "junk food" is a stretch.
The meat at subway may not be premium cut, but it is meat. What you put on the meat and bread is entirely up to the customer.
Mickie D's pretty much is processed crap.
