David decided to do a video-essay about Subway. Earlier on, he was interested in pursuing a look into the (un)healthiness of McDonald’s restaurants—but since “Supersize Me” has already covered that territory, we decided to take the project into a different direction. Subway is often advertised as the “healthy” and “fresh” option in the fast food world, but after looking at some of the nutrition facts, we discovered otherwise.

As of right now, we’ve selected several Subway advertisements, and written a script analyzing the messages being conveyed by the restaurant. Instead of looking at the contents of the sandwich, we’ve looked at the facts which include the number of calories and sodium.

Today we finished recording the script on Audacity, and hopefully next week we will be able to insert it into a video and add some music/sound-effects.
