Heart Attack Entrees and Side Orders of Stroke

Unsafe levels of sodium chloride, or salt, in chain restaurant meals increase one's chance of developing hypertension, heart attacks, strokes, and kidney disease according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest. The nonprofit food safety and nutrition watchdog group today is exposing chain restaurant meals with dangerously high levels of sodium and is renewing its call on industry and government to lower sodium levels in foods. Here is some news coverage of CSPI's report.

Which organization is more evil:

CSPI? Or Monsanto?

@mokugin81 That's not likely to happen, given that CSPI insists on wanting the government to micromanage the food we eat, especially since they are the organization that more or less coerced the fast food chains to stop frying with natural fats and switch to unhealthy processed vegetable oils back in the late '80s, and then tried to sue restaurant chains such as KFC for making the switch.

Anything that CSPI says is to be taken with more than a few grains of salt (no pun intended).
