Short salty quotes?
I’ll leave the ‘salty words’ to you, lol.
Using kosher salt now for cooking. Lots of recipes call for it.

I am running out of spice now
Well, what can I say..
It makes regular salt taste bitter, I think. I like the burst of saltiness.
How refreshing to see a good dose of reality and science injected into this discussion. Too often, emotion crowds out the place where facts and data should be. Thanks!
so I guess my daily bag of Potato chips is out?
In lots of arid temperate areas of the US, folks run low on salt. My Dr. said he was stunned to find that one patient after another had low sodium and potassium levels. As well as a lot of other minerals. Sweat too much in the heat.
Put every Chinese and Mexican restaurant out of business. Also Red Lobster, Olive Garden and Chili’s.
Red Lobster’s Admiral’s Feast with Caesar salad, creamy lobster-topped mashed potato, cheddar bay biscuit, and a lemonade packs 7,106 mg of sodium.
Olive Garden’s Tour of Italy Lasagna with a bread stick, salad with house dressing, and a Coke has a whopping 6,176 mg of sodium.
Chili’s Buffalo Chicken Fajitas with tortillas, condiments and a Dr. Pepper has 6,916 mg of sodium.
I don’t think these places should be regulated but these are huge amounts.
“...her potassium level drops...”
Potassium insufficiency is the real problem. We are all generally deficient. Potassium deficiency is related to many health problems, including those cardiovascular related.
Replace some of your sodium chloride (salt) with potassium chloride. It too has a salty taste. Eat a backed potato with the skin - beats bananas for potassium content. Use butter, not margarine on the baked potato, and sprinkle with some potassium chloride, or a mix of sodium and potassium chloride. There are some low sodium salts available that have more potassium than sodium. Read labels.
Yep, par for the course. That it is unscientific fits the modus operandi of liberalism.
The Progressives are practitioners of Lysenkoism.
