Ugh, I went to my parent's house this weekend and I made raw Thousand Island, but with regular Morton's salt. It tasted soooooo weird. I could barely eat my salad, but I was starving. Lol. It tasted and smelled like some kind of powdered chemical or something. It can't really explain it. It cannot be healthy! I challenge anyone who has been away from it a while to just smel it. How did I never taste that before?! :confused:

EEEWWW is right! You will become more and more aware of all that the longer you are raw.
The microwave smells (here at work) gag me. Melted plastic smell. Fake cheese smell. Cooked beast smell. UGH. I have to leave the floor when someone "cooks" something up....EEEWWWW!

I know! My personal philosophy: If there isn't sea salt, there will be no salt. I am finding myself needing it less and less anyways.
Morton's IS sea salt - well kinda.... at least it started out as sea salt. They have a plant right in the middle of the Salt Flats in Utah. The taste probably has something to do with how they refine it.

Thats the idea... it is refined. Anything "refined" is actually "Stupidified"

I've seen sea salt labeled "This salt does not contain iodine". So whether it's sea salt or earth salt, make sure it's unrefined. Otherwise all it's good for is melting the ice on the sidewalk. (Did they actually do that back then?)

I'm researching raw food. I'm planning to go on it, and I'm wondering.
The regular salt (refined, I guess) has iodine added in it. If it is not in sea salt, where else can I get my iodine?
This question wasn't meant to be an attack. I was just curious.
Thanks,

Seaweed, kale, etc. Deep dark green vegetables.
Also a great source of iron and other minerals, particularly the microminerals.

It is in sea salt, if it's raw. It isn't in refined salt, whether it's sea salt or not.

Did they do what back when? Everywhere I go in Michigan, they pour salt on the concrete to melt the ice. It works so well! I wonder how... anyways, the salt really ruins your shoes and your cars.

Back in Bible times - it's an allusion to Matthew 5:13. ;)
