The New York Times today has an interesting article about Fast Food's foray into "healthy" eating. ('Forget Jenny Craig. Hit the Drive-Thru' by Abby Ellin) Taco Bell is now pushing a fresco menu of lighter choices... eek, who would have though Taco Bell and healthy would ever go together?

The article mentions the problem with many of these items is a ton of salt.
These articles are always rather funny to me... really what's the big deal? People who make smart eating choices as part of their normal lives are usually fine (weight-wise). If you end up in a pinch and have to eat fast food, of course, you eat the healthy thing on the menu. My go-to item has always been a grilled chicken sandwich, no sauce. Of course, I prefer not to eat fast food and pretty much avoid it at all costs.
