I myself never use outdoor food, Outdoor food is not only guaranteed but it’s not safe. I always like to make fast food and barbecue at home it comes very delicious and safe.



I see many of my friends got sick while eating outdoor food like stomach or diarrhea, It’s better not to use outdoor food as always unless you have no time to prepare it.

Ingredients of foods like hamburger and sausage that are made from ground and mixed ingredients could be fake. Because you can’t recognize ingredients, so most of company to make more profit might use soybean instead of meat or maybe use other things like other animal’s meat or even grind cow bones, sheep bones, chicken bones or use meat waste to whip up their products.


So if you want to eat out these types of food, prepare yourself to eat every thing instead of what the companies claim used to make them!


Anyway in this case in may opinion, organic soybean filler is better than meat or the other things that I don’t know!

Subway!😏


I have special  and sad memory from my first sandwich at Subway! because it was my last meal with someone that I never met again!😏


What kind of sandwiches we chose?


Im sure it had meat or chicken but it was good even if I wasnt on good mood that day😢


I am not worried if my food contains soybean filler because I think its better and healthier!😁


Ok Subway! When will you pay me for this comment?😄

I don’t trust any outdoor food whether at restaurants or food carts. Home foods are the best and the most guaranteed.

I have never eaten subway because I don’t like such fast food that is not healthy and the meat is not fresh and safe, doing it yourself its the best way.

Yes, I am a meat lover, me and my family make barbecue most part of our weekends.



Well, I didn’t use to eat at Subway even before knowing about the Soybean Filler Scandal, but, I don’t think it’s weird, you know?



Nowadays the companies do anything they can to get more profits, so I guess, it’s not a fake scandal, they can deny but, I mean, people eat it and like it.



If I have the opportunity to eat anything in the world, I’d whip up rice, beans and fried eggs, I love it basic!
