SUBWAY® Spokesman Jared Fogle Is Coming to San Jose

--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On Thursday, July 16, 2009, Jared Fogle, the man who more than 10 years ago lost over 245 pounds by eating two SUBWAY® submarine sandwiches a day, will be at the Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose to speak to elementary school-age children about the benefits of living a healthy life.

Rated as one of the top five children’s museums in the country, the Children’s Discovery Museum recently joined forces with Kaiser Permanente San Jose to launch the “Kick Start Eat Smart Healthy Eating” program with the “Rainbow Pizza and Market” exhibition. The exhibit displays the benefits of healthy eating and highlights the importance of eating all the colors of the rainbow. Jared will be speaking at the exhibit sharing his story, from his life as an obese child to the days he spent on the SUBWAY^® diet and getting kids to promise not to fit into “Jared-size pants” in their lifetime.

On the heels of a California study on obesity released just last week, Jared will speak directly to children to get them to start eating healthy and to think about making good choices. Our state’s health care crisis is at an all time high. Health care related costs due to obesity have reached $41 billion, approximately one-third of the state’s budget. Jared, who has been a long-time advocate for children, believes that by investing in prevention through education we can make a significant impact.

We would welcome the opportunity for interested media to attend the live event this Thursday.
