Never really gave it much thought. But...it's amazing the chemicals used now on those poor lil veggiesetc. Europe has banned hose pesky sacks of mayhem...but not the U.S. So its up to us, kid For starters....fruits...veggies...most greens...It really is worth it. To misquote the Bard....Hie thee to an organicry............Don't pass the salt....vinegar and pepper if you please. Don't blame the salt people, they only want to please. maybe? High blood levels don't need the pesky white stuff. As far as sea salt, leave it to the whales. They "orca" know better. OK bad pun. Lentil and bean stew with tomatoes and a dash of vinegar, spices. I'll be right there. I'll even bring the salads.......tootals
