How many people actually use the salt shaker? (lemmy.ca)

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.]

Hope you guys use pink Himalayan salt to avoid plastics in the white salt. No need to add more micro plastic to the food.

What makes you think the pink salt is any better for this?

I was about to send you a link, but found that it said that pink salt is actually worse.. :/

Hey, thanks for taking the time to double check and come back even though you realized you got it wrong. Lots of people wouldn't have done that so props :)
