Why is There So Much Sodium in Restaurant Food?
In our ongoing Food on the Run and Diet Friendly Dining series, one of the most common comments I find relates to the sodium content of the foods highlighted. Many readers challenge how a food containing 1000 mg of sodium can be listed as a healthier option. In responding to this common question let me simply say -- we try to highlight "healthier" choices. When many other menu items contain 1800 mg of sodium or more, 1000 mg is your healthier choice. That does not mean it is right for you or that it is a "healthy" choice just that it is one of your better options when also looking at other important nutrients such as total fat and calories.

They used criteria such as the use of healthy fats and preparation, sodium content of entrees, availability of nutrition information for the foods served and the inclusion of organic produce to determine a list of the top 10 healthiest chains.
