⚡️🥖 NEW - Subway used to bake bread from scratch in every store, that was a core part of their branding for decades Now bread comes pre-frozen and can’t legally be classified as bread Subway was purchased by a private equity firm in 2023 Subway bread contains so much sugar it can’t be classified as bread due to a 2020 Irish Supreme Court ruling in a tax dispute, where Subway’s bread was deemed a confection due to high sugar content (10% of the flour weight, exceeding Ireland’s 2% threshold for bread). This was specific to Irish tax law under Value Added Tax (VAT) regulations, not a global food classification. (It remains legally bread in America because our food standards and regulation agencies are horrible)

⚡️🚨 NEW - A French historian who spent weeks inside Gaza says he witnessed “utterly convincing” evidence that Israeli forces backed looters attacking aid convoys, The Guardian reports. Jean-Pierre Filiu, a professor at Sciences Po, entered Gaza in December and documented Israeli quadcopters firing on local security teams protecting UN trucks, allowing gangs to seize food and supplies. He says Israeli strikes killed two community guards during one convoy run, after which 20 trucks were looted. Filiu asserts the goal was to discredit Hamas and the UN while empowering Israeli-aligned militias to resell aid. His account matches internal UN memos citing Israel’s “passive, if not active benevolence” toward looters.
