To add to this, everytime I eat at Burger King I'm amazed at how god damn /salty/ it is compared to McDonald's. The saltiness isn't immediately obvious, but any day I have a a BK burger for lunch I end up drinking several huge cups of water throughout the day because of all the salt.

Over consumption of salt is far more harmful to one's health than over consumption of fat in general, as far as I'm concerned.

Salt is just below sugar on the list of nuclear bombs you can detonate in your body.

Too much salt is indeed bad. But too little is also. Especially in hot climates.

Perhaps higher salt masks a lack of flavour and the resulting thirst leads to increased sales of high margin drinks.
