Hey, salt as a base ration has a long, proud history. It's just kind of hosed that it's still a major component of a 21st Century ration, but it's vital to human beings living and it's one of the many things in less than abundance in NK.

Yeah, Appert wasn't involved with tin cans at all. He was a glass man. He actually made a point of avoiding tin because French tin at the time was, uh, well. poo poo, frankly. It probably would have killed everyone who ate his food if he'd used it. It was the english who figured out the tin can component a couple of years later.
