i liked how they casually mentioned he walked to subway to get his meal. I wonder how much of the weight loss was the subs, and how much was walking his fat ass approx 1 mile each way to get the sub.

He walked about 10 feet. When he was at IU, he was incredibly, grotesquely obese. They put a Subway in about 10 feet from his front door. I believe that the McDonalds that he frequented more than once daily moved out of their current location or out of the student cafeteria or something like that as well, although I'm not positive.

I think I once read a sign in the Subway at Kinser Pike (in Bloomington) that it is the specific location he walked to every day during his miraculous weight loss. That store isn't 10 feet from anywhere and he definately would've walked some distance to get there.

Jared didn't start eating Subway because he was sick of being fat. He started because he was a fat, lazy waste and liked it that way. Only when he realized that he was losing tons of weight - that will happen when you replace 3 Quarter Pounders with one sub - did he decide to pursue a healthier lifestyle.

That may or may not be true but in any event the ad campaign has been succesful for years but is now pretty grating and used up.
