i agree here with real brisker and derech hamelech (although i can’t say its the MOST despicable, but i hear what they are saying)! why couldn’t the owner think up some other name rather than subway? it just doesn’t seem right that we need to name a place just like the goyim in order to attract attention and sound cute. i think its totally wrong. now, i don’t consider eating a fake cheeseburger as an aveira, altho i wouldn’t do it myself, i have nothing against anyone who does- you make the decisions in ur life, i make the decisions in mine, i would just feel like its a total deviation of the pasuk kedoshim t’hiyu- the point is we are NOT supposed to act like the goyim.
and, mikehall, come on! you know what he meant. there is nothing wrong with chocolate or coffee or whatever it was. the issue with cheeseburgers is that we are specifically told not to eat milk and meat together. to do so even with fake cheese just looks wrong IMHO.
real brisker and DhM- I’M ROOTIN’ FOR YA!
