Why Is Shawarma Unhealthy?

Shawarma is a popular Middle Eastern dish that originated in the Ottoman Empire, consisting of meat cut into thin slices, stacked in a cone-like shape, and roasted on a slowly-turning vertical rotisserie or spit.

According to the National News, shawarma is unhealthy because the meat is also heavily seasoned, meaning that sodium levels are high.
