I would agree with the theory that it is not a heart-smart food (if you would call it food), but not at all for the reasons the author cites. Saturated fats raise HDL, and salt is harmless for most people. A more credible (responsible?) piece of "journalism" would have mentioned the huge amount of processed refined carbohydrate and fructose (NAFLD anyone?).
It is popular to demonize McDonald's. If the author is so worried, she should just get the nice grilled chicken salad.
I bought a McRib the last round, and thought it was only so-so. I kinda felt that the gigantic bun that I threw away was a waste of $ because it weighed more than the meat. I probably wouldn't buy one again.
