I don't understand your beef with Subway, if any place has fresh veggies available, it's Subway and its right there for the asking. And to top that off, whole wheat breads are available. Can you get whole wheat at McDonalds? My problem is, if I go to McDonalds, I can't resist the fries....lol
Subway's marketing is deceptive. That's why I give them a hard time. If you make the sandwich like they show it on the menu it's going to be as many or more calories than items they're bashing. Whole wheat bread will make you just as fat as white bread so that's not necessarily a better choice when you're eating it by the loaf. And the fresh veggies really aren't bring much nutrition to the table. Just not enough of them will fit on a sandwich. They certainly don't offset the loaf of bread, processed meats and sauces. Bottom line. It's not a "healthy" place to eat. Your seemingly healthy sandwich was actually dominated with carbs and processed meat. Just like any other fast food joint. If you can fit them in a sandwich there were not enough veggies to do very much.
