my time watching this, but if someone is trying to claim salt is terrible, then no, it isn't. For one thing, a certain amount of salt is needed to do things like maintain proper blood pressure. I also understand that if you consume excess salt, your body simply excretes it.

For the very most part, no one food is poison (unless you are truly deathly allergic) and no one food is magic and will cure all ills or make you live forever. Food is food. Eat real food. Not too much. Not overly processed crap.

"Leave my salt alone." Why in the world would someone post that if salt isn't mentioned?

If it said "Leave my junk food alone," it would make more sense to me.
