A watchdog group wants the government and the restaurant industry to put the brakes on salt shakers.
The Center for Science in the Public Interest is warning of dangerously high levels of sodium in chain restaurant meals.
CSPI researchers examined 17 chains and found that 85 out of 102 meals had more than a day's worth of sodium. They say some meals at
Red Lobster, Chili's and Olive Garden had more than four days' worth.
CPSI executive director Michael Jacobson says it's almost impossible to stick to a diet that's moderate in sodium when you eat out.
The group recommends that to cut their salt intake, restaurant patrons eat out less often, choose smaller portions, and check
restaurant web-sites for the sodium content of meals.
The CPSI Report is titled "Heart Attack Entrees With Side Orders Of Stroke."
