They probably won’t promote their 6-inch big hot pastrami sandwich, but the Subway chain of restaurants is partnering with first lady Michelle Obama’s campaign to persuade kids to eat healthier meals.

Subway and the first lady’s office announced a three-year commitment Thursday in support of Mrs. Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign. The sandwich shops will promote efforts aimed at getting children to eat more fruits and vegetables.

Subway offers a variety of low-fat sandwiches on its menu, along with choices that probably wouldn’t get the first lady’s approval, such as the six-inch chicken and bacon ranch melt with cheese, which contains 28 grams of fat.

Here's a fun little update: some friends of ours own three Subway stores in this area. When this news came out and company HQ said they'd have to have posters, photos and the like featuring the Mooch, our friends and a lot of other franchisees raised a stink and said no way. Thus far, the promised Obama paraphernalia has not arrived at Subway shops.

These folks are staunch conservatives so they were especially sickened by the prospect of having to put Her Heineyness' mug all over their stores!
