Rush Caller: Using Sea Salt Threatens Environment. And is Racist.

It’s just not fair that the there is so much Kosher salt because of the Dead Sea.

[elcid1970]

El Rushbo has often reminded callers that radio humor is best left to professionals.

But the topic is like the old Cold War joke: what would happen if the Soviet Union occupied the Sahara Desert?

Nothing at first....then there would be a shortage of sand.

[Sacajaweau]

I’m not too far from a nuclear plant. They distribute iodine on a regular basis.

[gspurlock]

. . .and some of it even comes from mountains, such as the ever popular pink Hymalayan Sea Salt. I get it ‘cause it’s pretty.

[attiladhun2]

True enough. And the moon would be many meters deep in dust were it billions of years old.

[tje]

Yes, it was a gag. I listened to it. Rush was having callers call in with outrageous stories ala Lyin’ Brian...

[gspurlock]

No, the pure white sale has had natural minerals removed from it, and the iodine is re-supplied. The sea salts are very mineral rich and I’m pretty sure they have plenty of iodine naturally. But it never hurts to do more research on it. That was a question that I had when I started using sea salt, and at the time it was answered to my satisfaction.

[Calvin Locke]

I used to live within the 10 mile radius of a nuke plant. I would only get the yearly calendar with the latest evac routes, just in case.

[Buffalo Head]

Somewhat related, if you do the math, it is clear that considering the millions of dinosaurs that once existed over a span of millions of years, all water on earth at one time passed through dinosaurs.

[sportutegrl]

I seem to remember Seattle not salting the roads after a snowstorm because it would drain into Puget Sound.

[I want the USA back]

“have you ever swam...”
No, I’ve never did that.

[SkyDancer]

I use Dave’s kosher salt in baking ... it’s flaked.

[Salamander]

You would.

:P

[Salamander]

I don’t believe in them so I don’t *care*.

;D

[1Old Pro]

There’s only ONE reason there is less salt percentage in the ocean, it’s becuase global warming is metling the ice caps and they are diluting the ocean.

[Carriage Hill]

There is black salt and white pepper...

[VanShuyten]

“Says there are many trace minerals in it, including radium, uranium, polonium and thallium. I wouldn’t worry, as those are extremely tiny traces if present at all, and naturally occur in many foods we eat (like bananas) in larger amounts.”

The radioactive “danger” from bananas is because of the radioisotopes of potassium. Potassium is also found in sea salt and gives it a slightly bitter taste when compared to refined table salt.

[Carriage Hill]

There is black salt and white pepper...

[ScottinVA]

It's taking too much salt out of the oceans and the result of course is gonna be a decreased salinity of the oceans.

OK... is that you, Rep. Hank "Guam is gonna tip over" Johnson?

[ansel12]

During the Cold War, salt was a major issue.

“The first agreements, known as SALT I and SALT II, were signed by the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in 1972 and 1979, respectively”
