The fact is that most people neither no know care whether they are eating Halal. It looks the same, tastes the same and has the same nutritional value. You don't get bits of prayer caught between your teeth.
Given the above, it makes sense for Subway and the like to use Halal. It prevents the need to have two different supply chains with the expense that goes with that.
Not every Subway is Halal, but those which are can clearly be identified. They use Halal turkey ham that tastes just fine as far as I'm concerned. If you don't want that, there's no need to get upset or feel dictated to - just don't buy it. If you want a pork product, I'd go to Greggs or any number of retailers that supply it.
