and if you eat at McDonald's

Bacon and cheese quarter-pounder: 1,440 mg of sodium.

Want fries with that? Oddly enough, only 270 milligrams for medium. I'm sorry, that can't be right, I've eaten at McDonald's, and the salt crusts the fries like sugar on a sugar doughnut. Oh, and the ketchup packet? 100 milligrams of sodium per packet. I usually use about six.

Lunch is a dangerous meal.
