Crazy Foods

There seems to be a contest for the most unhealthy sandwich at a restaurant. The first entry was KFC's new Double Down which has bacon, cheese and a mystery sauce between two slices of fried chicken breast. ("There's so much chicken there was no room for bread.") The official menu claims this is only 500 calories but that's not believable.

Now Friendly's has introduced the new Grilled Cheese BurgerMelt which is a hamburger with two cheese sandwiches as bun. This monster clocks in at 1500 calories and 2090 mg of Sodium which I can well believe. That's all your salt and most of your day's calories in one sandwich; hold the Fries?

Bottom Line

I love eating out and I don't choose from the health menu. Few do. But you've got to draw a line at some point and say enough. One meal should not exceed the daily limits for calories and salt.
