Many foods just have obscene levels of sodium. Look at the Chick-fil-a chargrilled cool wrap for an example. Just a basic chicken wrap, NO SAUCE, and it has 1300mg sodium, or 54% of your daily value. I can understand a bowl of soup or foods that require high salt content, but fast-food restaurants are using incredible amounts of salt in food. Just look at Subways nutritional info, yes the subs have low fat, but just look at the sodium content. This voluntary measure is a great start, but the goals are far too low.
