So Much Salt

Who knew so much salt was in all that yummy food we like to eat out. I dread to find out how much sodium is in those delicious Five Guys Fries. Imagine what might be lurking in my Chipotle Burrito. But we all might be finding out sooner than later.

The City who got rid of our "Trans Fats" and tried to limit our soda intake is now taking on our sodium problem. New York City is playing with the idea that all food served in restaurants with more than 15 locations will display a salt shaker icon and the amount of sodium in the meal.

How do I feel about this? I think it is probably a good plan. If my Aunt Doris can admit to the amount of salt in her fried chicken, McDonald's can fess up too.
