SODIUM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, AND NEVER DID . LESS THEN 10%OF THE POPULATION IS SENSITIVE TO SALT, SO THAT THEIR BLOOD PRESSURE IS EFFECTED

This article is such BS!! Wendy's small chili has 6 grams of fat, and the large has 9 grams. The large has 1240 mg sodium, the small has only 830. Wendy's chili has been the healthiest menu item for decades. I used to work at Wendy's, and have seen how they make the chili. They are careful to get out most of the fat, and it is easy to do. Go to Wendys.com and look for yourself.

This article is dated. We all know this type of food is bad for you. You are hard pressed to find anything worth eating on the menu. Weight Watchers says Wendy's Chili is pretty low in calories and high in fiber (another surprise) and the other only acceptable in WW is the yogurt at McDonalds (and don't use the granola)! Why bother going (although both are tasty)

I am only 37 and my doctor says I need a low fat low salt (Sodium) diet.I don't salt anything except Fries or tater- tots from a freezer bag cooked at home.

I never salt anything from a fast food joint.Fast food places have salt shakers the size of large coffee mugs.Your fries are salted before you get them.I like the the McDonalds steak egg and cheese breakfast Bagel.Yet they salt the hell out of it.You can taste the salt.
