Meet the New Jared Fogle

Has anyone noticed that Subway's poster boy has gone from this:

to this?

Peter Griffin from Family Guy is featured in Subway's new "Feast Your Face" ad campaign. Though, Jared fans, don't fret - you can still see his smiling face on the healthy choices menu in the restaurants.

Anyway, this turn of events, along with Wendy's introduction of the new Baconator(tm), leads me to believe that this whole healthy-fast-food craze is over. It wasn't so long ago that fast food companies were worried about being the next industry, after tobacco, to get sued for generally contributing to the failure of our national health. Perhaps now that they all have introduced healthy options, like apples and milk in place of fries and pop, they feel they are better insulated from suit.

Of course, there are other possible explanations. Maybe Subway agrees with Sarah Silverman that Jared has become "too preachy." Or maybe there are going to be some changes in upcoming episodes of Family Guy...
