No wonder we're fat...

I was walking down Fordham Rd last week and paused outside the KFC. There was a huge new sandwich being adverised "The double down". My mouthwatered as I took in the crispy chicken and bacon. The I came to my senses and realized how GROSS it was. Two deep fried chicken breasts replaced bread buns. Inside its bacon and some kind of cheese. WTF? I went to KFC's website. They describe it as

So meaty there's no room for the bun.

Damn look at the SALT! ONE Teaspoon salt = 2000 mg of sodium
The daily recommendation is 1,500 and 2,400 milligrams (mg)

America put the sandwich down! You ever wonder why you never see commercials for broccoli or apples? Don' t you question why your 3 year old recognizes McDonald's and barely an apple or carrot? We have two - three grocery stores and TWO McDonald's in a 1/2 mile radius in my neighborhood. It's a vicious cycle we eat cheap fast food now and pay the medical industry BILLIONS later for conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.
