Posted online
Subway spokesman Jared Fogle's decision to plead guilty to child porn and sex abuse charges has drawn attention to questionable practices at the foundation he started to combat childhood obesity.

Tax documents indicate the charity raised $650,000 2008-13, but donated only $145,647 to fight obesity during the same time period, according to CNNMoney.
