By Steve Holland and Jeff Mason WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump told Congress on Tuesday he was open to immigration reform, shifting from his harsh rhetoric on illegal immigration in a speech that offered a more restrained tone than his election campaign and first month in the White House. Trump, in a prime-time address to a country that remains divided over his leadership, emphasized his desire to focus on problems at home by boosting the U.S. economy with tax reform, a $1 trillion infrastructure effort and an overhaul of President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law, known as Obamacare. After a first month in office dominated by a fight over his temporary travel ban on people from seven Muslim-majority nations, Trump looked for a reset to move past a chaotic period that sowed doubts about his ability to govern effectively.
Surprise! Study finds Subway's chicken may contain less than 50% chicken.
If you order a chicken sandwich you expect to get a chicken sandwich, right? Well not all chicken sandwiches are created equal. A recent poultry analysis by CBC
Marketplace
made an unsettling discovery. According to the report, Subway's chicken was found to contain less than 50 percent chicken DNA.

The other major ingredient was soy. Matt Harnden, a researcher at Trent University's Wildlife Forensic DNA Laboratory, tested six sandwiches from fast food restaurants. The two Subway sandwiches were the worst offenders. Most of the other meats tested were "very close" to 100 percent chicken, according to Harnden, so they tested the Subway chicken again. He tested the DNA from five pieces of oven-roasted chicken and five pieces of chicken strips, found in Subway's wraps. The results from the five pieces were averaged, giving the numbers 53.6 percent and 42.8 percent, respectively. After the report was released, Subway released a statement saying it disagrees with the findings. "Our chicken strips and oven roasted chicken contain 1 percent or less of soy protein. We use this ingredient in these products as a means to help stabilize the texture and moisture," Subway said in its statement. Subway also said it will look into the matter and ensure with its supplier that the chicken is meeting the company's standards.
