I don't think banning added salt is logical or wanted, though I wish consumers would demand a more reasonable use of salt in restaurant food. That said, a couple of comments: 1) Salt is not a spice, it is a mineral. It does not enhance flavor, it adds its own unique flavor. 2) Yes, salt is necessary for us to survive, but you'll find that we get salt in almost everything we eat - enough for our needs without adding any. Most Americans eat a lot of processed foods and, if they tracked their salt intake, will find that they have reached the maximum recommended daily allowance sometime early in their lunch. We, as a nation, eat entirely too much salt, and suffer high blood pressure and other maladies as a result.

Try Gizmo. It's a SIP-based alternative that works quite well.
