Guest guest Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Because of the experience I had with Taco Bell and seeing the lard in the ingredients I usually stop at Subways which are often on the road nowadays. I get a veggie sub, on wheat, no cheese, with all of the vegetables and Dijon mustard. If I am worried about protein then I carry some high protein snacks with me to eat on the road with the sandwich.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 You have to check at each subway - the dijon mustard at some is just straight dijon mustard, and at others it is more of a salad dressing which does contain eggs. We typically stick with yellow mustard. As far as eggs being okay, it really is up to you to decide. There is no rule book on this veg quest and you just need to inform yourself to find if you are okay with eating eggs. At one point along my veg journey, I was okay with eggs, but after researching the conditions of egg-laying hens (even the " free-range " ones), I decided I am no longer okay with eggs. The reason I point out even the free- range ones is that I know a lot of vegetarians who justify that eggs are okay if you buy the free-range ones. I think people want to picture these happy little hens pecking away at seed out in a nice farm yard, but " free-range " for eggs has no formal definition by the USDA. Some free-range egg farmers have used that name themselves because their cages may be a little roomier than most battery cages, or maybe their is a window in the barn/shed where they are kept. Egg farms also have an incredible amount f environmental pollution. Eggs are advertised as the perfect protein, but if you do your research, you'll find they really are not healthy for human consumption. There are so many better quality plant food products available for humans to consume without needing the egg.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 The Dijon mustard, not honey mustard, at the location where we go and have looked at the label has water, vinegar, mustard seed, salt etc.. no egg or mayo- but it does have sugar which you all know is most likely not vegan due to processing. but in terms of actual ingredients it is safe. I have read another post though that indicates that this may not be true at all Subways. I will have to be sure to ask more as I encounter them, so far I have found the Dijon to be okay (as far as I know!)

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Susan, I don't do eggs so I am thankful that you told me I need to continue to ask at Subways where I have not quizzed them and read the ingredients already. The Dijon where I am is safe, I have read the packaging, but that does not mean that I have not been shanghai'd at non familiar locations. Thanks for sharing, I may just stick to straight mustard when in doubt- It helps to have a back up plan. Thanks again, I have really appreciated everyone sharing insights.. it is amazing what you think you know, but really don't about the foods you eat when you eat out.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Thanks Susan, I will look at those sites. I read a bood recently...The Omnivores's Dilemma by Michael Pollan . A VERY good book! Anyway, he talked about eggs and 'free-range' being not so free. There are farms out there like the Polyface Farm he talked about in his book. The chickens there are happily pecking away...LOL Turns out they have a co-op in my area and I'm looking to get on their list. Thanks again!

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I have only encountered it when they use only a dijon salad dressing instead of dijon mustard. It was on one road trip, and they person making my sandwich grabbed a bottle of dijon " dressing. " I asked to see the label before he put any on my sandwich, and it had eggs. He said that is all they have ever used for " spicy " mustard and didn't know what I meant by just plain dijon mustard. It may have been just a random occurrence, but I am careful now whenever we go to subway. ~Susan On Apr 21, 2008, at 8:01 PM, Paige wrote: > I have read another post though that indicates that this may not be > true at > all Subways.
