Like there is so much salt in processed food I never felt the need to actually use the salt shaker (until I cut out processed food).

What does this mean for iodine intake? [FYI iodine was added to salt a long time ago because they found people were low in iodine. At the time people used salt shakers. Are we low now because, I’m figuring, people don’t use salt shakers as much? Some googling says processed food doesn’t use iodized salt.]

    I’m just thinking you’re supposed to add it while cooking, not at the table.

    It kinda depends. For example half my family likes things on the saltier side, while the other half likes things not very salty. Some after-salting helps a lot to make everyone happy. It doesn’t fully replace proper salting while cooking, though.

      Yeah, I have older parents that need food with less sodium as well, so all of my food has less of it, and I add more at the table.
