I could go on a full blown rant here, but will opt for the Reader's Digest version:
Lured in by the aforementioned M&R Angus, I decided to give one of the other Angus Burgers a try.
This time, I opted for the Bacon and Cheese (which I think would be more aptly named "Salt Lick"). Don't believe me? Head over to mcdonalds.com, and check out the nutritional info (cleverly named "Bag a McMeal" -- *snort*). That sandwich packs over 2000mg of sodium (86% of your RDA)! Oh yeah, and a whopping 790 calories. (Yikes!)
I personally think that 2000mg of sodium per day is much too high, and try to stay under 1000mg. I obviously missed the mark on this one!
It's interesting to note that one-third of calories and sodium from this sandwich comes from the "premium bun". And if you leave off the pickle and the ketchup, you lose another 300mg of sodium.
I do like the fact that you can go to the website and see how you can customize your sandwich/meal to accommodate your dietary needs. (I'm seeing the feature more often on chain restaurant websites.)
BTW, it figures that one of my first posts is foodie. I'll probably start ranting about Top Chef next ...
