Where do you find salt in the middle of the country?
Maybe it's not an issue along the coasts, but outside of Syracuse, where there used to be salt water, I don't know where one finds salt supplies.
Then there's the need to go get it and haul it back.
I've lived without sugar in my diet for years now but could not survive without salt.
Other carbs can be broken down into sugar and there's always fruit as a source, and honey and maple syrup, but salt does not grow on trees.
Look up what salt deficiency does to a person and how long you can survive on a salt free diet.
So during societal or supply chain breakdown, just where do you propose to get salt when you measly pound runs out?
I once got salt-deficient once (exercising a lot in Phoenix in the summertime) and it wasn’t pleasant.
In my case, immediately cured by eating a dill pickle and drinking a can of V-8 juice.
Long run, it’ll kill you.
How do you store your salt? I had put some in a mason jar with an oxygen absorber, as well as did the same thing with sugar. Both turned hard as rock! Of course they would still be useful but you’d have to scrape them out.
I didn’t like that method so I just bought some of those round cardboard boxes I guess they are, and some kosher salt and regular boxes and put them in a plastic bag. Just to keep the critters out. And then stuck them in a box.
