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.]

    Same, it’s funny seeing others say they cook at home, so they always use the shaker. I’m just thinking you’re supposed to add it while cooking, not at the table. I have a mason jar full of salt I keep next to the stove.

    But fair enough adding it at the table if there’s not enough. For me though if I had to do that, i’d also add some extra to the pot.
