I don't think 2% is EU-wide, but Ireland-specific. (And not present in all contexts -- sugary bread like milk bread or Subway rolls are considered bread for some legal purposes in Ireland.)

Does that really change the fact that it would be one of my healthiest options for eating out? Have you considered what the other options are? I think you are misconstruing my comment as claiming that you should consider it one of your healthiest options.

I think the whole discussion is misplaced as you can eat at Subway without eating the bread; but equally you can have a salad at McDonalds.

I can get a veggie patty with a ton of extra veggies on wheat at Subway. So much better than a McDonald's salad, imo. But I do see the point. Still, I think the typical meal at Subway is healthier than the same at McDonald's. I lost about 90 lbs with subway for lunch as a key part of my diet.

Yeah, I guess walking hungry into a McDonalds is more risky in terms of restraint vs Subway..
