One way to give a gift without having to pick the exact item is just to charge a gift card. In this manner, a friend or family member can visit a certain store and then buy the items of their choosing. The disadvantage is that such a gift card can only be used at select stores and the remainder cannot be refunded. That said, a Subway gift card would be a well appreciated gift.

Subway is famous for its dietary promotion. Some of its menu items indeed are low in fat and high in vegetable matter. It is a healthier place to eat than some other forms of fast food. This does not mean that every item on the menu is healthy, but even the cold cuts of ham and salami are better than the grease at some of these cheaper restaurants.

It really is possible to loose weight with subway if the dieter chooses lean sandwiches and prefers vegetables over bread. It is important that the body has some carbohydrates, even though bread is the mother load. To that end, whole wheat is much healthier than white bread as it does not break down as quickly and does not cause a spike in blood sugar.

Subway does offer some real deals. Although the era of the 5 dollar foot long seems to be over, 6 dollars for a large sandwich loaded with extras is far from a bad deal. If inflation is taken into account, Subway is still as great of a food idea as before. Since not every customer is fond of vegetables, this restaurant practically gives these extras away.

Another benefit of eating at subway is the cleanliness of the food preparation center. The advantage is being able to go inside and look at the front counter and see the sandwich being made. This encourages some healthy practices, such as keeping the food stock constantly covered. In a fast food restaurant, by comparison, the staff is overworked and does not get into the habit of routinely changing their gloves.

Subway also knows how to keep their ingredients fresh. Sliced vegetables can stay good for the whole day if they are kept cook and covered, while meatballs stay just the way they should be if kept reasonably hot. Bread needs to stay in a container, and salami does just fine if kept covered because it is naturally preserved.

There are a lot of reasons to eat at subway. Offering a person their choice of sandwich is a great gift. Walk into the store and ask for a Subway gift card whenever desired.
