Finding healthy food at a fast food outlet is a lot like grabbing gold out of the air — it’s impossible. Yet different sites keep trying to give you alternatives. I’ve written about some in the past, check this post, for example. But now there’s a new one from Cheapism.com, Low-Sodium Fast Food: 42 Menu Items to Order from Burger King to Taco Bell.
The list shows just how hard it is to find low-sodium foods at these places (I’m sitting at a McDonald’s as I write this, ironically, after having some unhealthy free fries, a Friday give-away).
What’s listed for Chick-fil-A, for example? A yogurt, not any of its salt-laden chicken offerings.
A salad is listed at Burger King, but with no dressing because those are all high in salt and fat. Bring your own oil and vinegar like I do with portable, small bottles.
Americans are hooked on salt and fat until they start demanding alternatives, which doesn’t appear likely anytime soon. Happy New Year!
