I'd like to know how they squeezed so much salt into one meal:

"......3,542 g of sodium...."
3,542 g of sodium is 3.542 kilos which is 7.8 POUNDS

Perhaps the Crispy Honey Shrimp is a better choice. Only 4.1 pounds of sodium per serving.

Some one needs to learn the difference between grams and milligrams. The second is one thousandth of the first.
1890 mg. = 1.89 grams.

They say the "Crispy Honey Shrimp has 70 g of fat, 290 g of carbohydrates, and 1,890 g of sodium." That's a little over four pounds. But the Quesadilla Burger only has 4000
mg of sodium.

So either they know the difference, or they're completely unreliable as a source of nutrition/health information.

Are you sure?
Based on the budget/debt talks it sounds like no one has a clue in washington.
