tru but salt was crazy valuable. You could preserve food with it ( and that was a big deal since they didn't have fridges) and you also died if you didn't eat salt, so yeah, people wanted it a lot.

Wait why did they die?

because if you don't have enough salt you get symptoms such as, dehydration, muscle cramps, headaches, weakness, irritability, and even eventual cognitive decline. (i did fact check that online)

Interesting. I would have thought that the human body somehow makes enough to surbive

we probably aren't indanger since we eat a lot of salt in our food already

True

Americans are not the only ones addicted to it
