I was just going to a FB group we both moderate to complain about it, and she's already posted how proud she is of writing it :negative:

My parents got me one of those Trader Joe's "7 salts of the World" packs for Christmas, and my loving stupid cat knocked over and smashed all but three of the tubes. I'm still a little broken up and salty about it.

This time of year stores over here always stock big bags of really cheap road salt, marked with notes about how they are not for human consumption, and I can't find any information about why that is. I wish I could buy those bag instead of overly expensive food salt.

That article is full blown insanity.

A true renaissance man


quote:

Kosher salt, such as Diamond Crystal (which is made by Cargill's chemical division), clocks in at 99.83 percent sodium chloride. By comparison, naturally occurring salts come out anywhere between 95 and 97 percent pure sodium chloride, and very rarely much more.

The main reason most chefs and home cooks use kosher salt is that it's cheap and readily available. "We have this righteous idea that salt should be just about free," Bitterman said, "and we're not realizing that that's because we're insisting that it be made in the shittiest possible circumstances, and to the shittiest possible standards."

The thing that it is is scary because that thing is too much the thing that it is. This is a low standard.

The dots not connected are that

A) The impurities that make up the remaining 0.17% in :supaburn: mass market salt :supaburn: are not as desirable, probably because they are chemical companies, not artisans
B) The flavorful 3-5% minerals in :homebrew: natural :homebrew: salts are better for you, because nature put them there

e: she's overseas atm and last updated fb 5 hours ago, so likely no chatlogs today, friends.

I like maldon as much as the next guy, but nothing they said makes any sense. I like the "food comes from farmers, salt comes from cargill." Sure, but that farmer has millions of dollars worth of fertilizer, soil amendments, seeds, and pesticides from cargill.

The "artisinal" salt market is one giant scam. Himalaya salt? Either from the himalayans or as it turns out, from Poland. Saw a documentary about the misleading idea that salt can be special and how they price hike it.

People are stupid.

Haha they aren't trolls, they legitimately disagree with the article. Especially not disclaiming that the "selmelier" owns an expensive salt company and would have an inherent bias against a competitors product that owns the market.

I only use organic single batch salt harvested from Polish mines by blind slaves and I only drink artisan charcoal water made with sustainable locally processed spring water and charcoal naturally found in ancient burial sites.

I am okay with this because it stops the lambs screaming in my brain, telling me I'm not spending enough on life.
