The disadvantages of subway greatly or not as much as the advantaaages.. as
you have pointed out. The only bad thing about Subway is teh peaple that
work there, which can be extremely immature. But in terms of value, taste,
and, freshness, Subway is the best for a non-burger or taco place.

But I highly disagree with your opinion about chain-hamburger places,
personally I love hamburgers, so I love teh way hambuger restourant's smell.

Mayeb teh reason that they make you naseated is becasuse are you possible
allergic to beef? Almost all non-vegetarian people LOVE beef, which is the
reason I think there might be a extra health issue at play here.
