huh, so odd that agricultural tribes (not hunting tribes) would trade for salt to add it to their diet—since a high vegetable diet is high in potassium and low in sodium chloride. They subconsciously knew they needed more salt in their diet as compared to other tribes and instinctively added it. WILDDD

“Loyalty and friendship are sealed with salt because its essence does not change. Even dissolved into liquid, salt can be evaporated back into square crystals.” Stopppp that is so poetic! And even more poetic knowing me and Nelly’s friendship is joined together with salt and vinegar chips & salty French fries

So cool to say that an interest in salt is sexually charged. “The Romans, Jones pointed out, called a man in love salax, in a salted state, which is the origin of the word salacious.”
