Kate: Eating fast foods presents three problems in your diet. First, most fast foods have an excessive amount of salt. Even when you think you're making healthy choices, you might not.
Have you ever looked at a fast food menu and thought, should I go for the deluxe burger with fries and a shake, or maybe I should go with something healthy, like chicken. You might think that chicken's a healthy choice, even better if it's grilled instead of fried, right? But according to a popular fast food restaurants website, a grilled chicken sandwich has 1,770 milligrams of salt.
That's over 73% of the daily allowance for a healthy adult. Adding a large fry to your order bumps your salt intake by another 20%. That's a lot of salt to put into your body, and it's just lunch.
