Has anyone else noticed that table salt ... this basic, yet essential [for ME, at any rate] commodity ... has been in short supply
on Britain's supermarket shelves in the aftermath of the Big Freeze? Why? After all, refined salt has virtually no effect on ice and snow ... and yet, the coarse stuff (which HAD been useful for "thawing" paths &c) remains in stock!
Or could THIS gripe of "mine" be considered another "run of the mill" post? We'll wait and se(a) ... it might not be to everyone's taste!

it's essential for life and good health. I won't list here all the reasons. In fact, low salt diets can lead to problems. Salt is related to blood pressure and so people with high blood pressure should reduce their intake, but evidence is lacking that reducing current salt intake in apparently healthy people leads to fewer heart attacks or strokes.
Tonight I'm having prawns and rice ...
I have a friend who does a lot of weight training and after each workout he will eat a packet of crisps to replace some of the lost salts from his workout..
