Essentially, what you're doubling down on is your daily sodium intake. It was introduced hot on the heels of the Atkins Diet, which encouraged low-carb foods and completely disavowed bread, so the Double Down looked ideal (of course, the chicken itself has tons of breading on it, but a little detail like that shouldn't get it in the way of being "healthy." And yes, those exaggerated quotes are entirely necessary). Frighteningly enough, KFC recently re-introduced the sandwich due to popular demand. Way to go, consumers. You really know how to make well-informed decisions.
