I don't understand :(

Salt lasts for billions of years

>>18195307
don't call me honey :[

>thinks salt is food
do amerifats....?

Salt is seasoning, not food. It has no calorific value.

Rocks aren't food

>>18195315
Not only is it food, your body can't function without it

Electrolytes? Yeah, those are salts

>>18195319
this is your brain on fast food propaganda

>>18195325
People were better when 90% of their meat intake was salt pork

>>18195325
look up hyponatremia, or sodium deficiency. it's 100x worse than anything eating too much salt will do to you
why do you think animals love licking salt and humans instinctively crave salty tastes, despite the lack of caloric value? it's extremely important for your health

>>18195319
So iron is food because your body can't function without it?

>>18195334
Ionic iron, yes

>>18195331
added salt is not necessary

>>18195331
Only herbivores lick salt, carnivores/omnivores get their sodium from meat and eggs

>>18195331
Its a required micronutrient but that doesn’t make it food

>>18195344
and semen

>>18195344
>vegans are salt lickers

>>18195311
what if it's wet?

>>18195331
Too much salt will put you in a coma and kill you.

>>18195360
>what is the ocean

>>18195319
Is oxygen food?

>>18195362
Too much of anything will kill you, anon.

>>18195370
I know, I only said that because the other Anon made it sound like too much salt isn't that bad.

>>18195363
>Dead Sea
>ocean

>>18195365
You don't eat oxygen, it goes into your lungs, not your stomach

salt is an inorganic mineral.

>>18195307
>salt
>food
what obese american monstrosity made this picture?

>Food is any substance consumed to provide nutritional support for an organism. Food is usually of plant, animal, or fungal origin, and contains essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals.

You need 140mg of salt a day and you get that from eating almost any food

A LIMIT of 2g of salt is recommended since excess salt is so bad for you. Visually especially with your bloated salt face

A low sodium diet is almost impossible for people in modern times to follow so people cope and say actually 4g of salt a day is good for you

>>18195331
>it's 100x worse than anything eating too much salt will do to you
This post brought to you by the Society of American Cardiovascular Surgeons

>>18196469
You will literally die with a zero salt intake, 100% of the time

>>18196454
>pic
Can't actually be treated on a typical cartesian plane like that. Imaginary and real numbers can be used together but they are not "the same".

>>18195307
Honey makes u bloated

>>18196475
And you will literally die with 100% salt intake 100% of the time
What's your point, doc?

>>18196500
You will die breathing 100% oxygen and even 100% pure genuine love will make your heart explode which is a fatal condition.

>>18195310
I'm sorry about your mental disability anon

There is an excellent scientific book named the __ for salt (can’t remember the word, it’s a synonym of search, struggle...) which is an exhaustive review of the importance of salt for animals. It’s like 700 pages long and extremely well, I mean it extremely well documented. I remember reading in it that many primitive tribes used to burn then geind the bones of their dead ones, then put the bone powder in a liquid meal they ate religiously, sourced from many reports of explorers in LatAm and the islands in SE Asia centuries ago.
But every type of mineral - calcium, sodium, potassium, is comprehensively reviewed and all relevant studies shown.

>>18195311
Salt isn't food. If you ate nothing but salt you would fucking die.

>A FUCKING ROCK

>>18195408
This nigga

>>18197372
Honey isn't food. If you ate nothing but honey you would die.

>>18197441

>>18197459
Honey is a food, and you can survive on it. This also applies to bees.

>>18195316
Thank you. Exactly. OP is retard.

>>18195408
>dead sea is the only example of salt water on earth
where are you going with this anon?

>>18195316
Completely cut salt out of your diet.

>>18197468
Please eat nothing but honey for the rest of the year and update us

>>18197498
not an argument

>>18196476
>B-but my worthless degree
I'll take 1 large fry please

Salt isn't a food, food gives calories. Salt is an electrolyte

>>18197498
ok, I'll add a little salt to it

>>18197709
Then water isn't a drink

>>18197725
Water is still a drink, but drinks are not food unless they give calories

>>18197713
Sure, knock yourself out just keep us up to date

>>18195307
>insect vomit
>crystalline mineral
Anon I....

>>18197954
Then alcohol is a food that trumps both salt and honey.

It's what plants crave.

This board cracks me the fuck up. It's literally just a bunch of dishbitches and linefaggots drunkenly blowing off steam after work. This interaction sums up this entire board.

>>18198010
Sure, take your gotcha if that's what you need

>>18195362
I think it's a common way to an hero in south Korea to drink a bottle of soy sauce.

>>18197459
This is LITERALLY not true
Honey is the only good you could entirely live off of since it has water in it. There are Indian Honey Shepherds who do exactly this

>>18195319
... wow

>>18198218
I dont think thats common at all. It would be extremely painful if actually done but most people physically wouldnt be able to do it.

>>18198305
>There are Indian Honey Shepherds who do exactly this
I could only find info on one guy claiming this but no real proof. I think honey is good for us and I know that some people have been documented consuming large amounts of it and doing fine, but you can't entirely live off of it. 2k calories of honey has like 2g of protein and no fat, so you would definitely develop a deficiency.

Most food has enough water in it to at least stop you from dying from dehydration. Some Africans survive on milk and blood for long periods, that sounds more viable than honey alone.

>>18195311
Salt has no calories. It isn't a food

If you consider Salt a food, you also have to consider Iron a food

>>18196516
Retard

>>18195307
Salt isn't a food

>>18197498
Completely feasible in a survival situation.

>aah yes time sit down to a nice plate of salt

t. no-one ever because salt isn't a food

>>18198601
>t. no one ever because nobody eats a bowl of salt

>>18198614
Yes, because it isn't a food.

>>18198614
He said plate.

I can't look at honey the same way after reading that Junji Ito comic

>>18198640
Pff what, you a pussy or something? Just a taste~

>>18195307
>>18195319
>>18195331
Salt isn't food, it's a mineral. Sure, it's incredibly important for your organism, but unlike food, you don't break it down to get energy.

>>18197459
That's not true. You could live on nothing but honey for at least several years, potentially decades.
Try eating only salt and you will start starving to death immediately.

COMMENCE THE JIGGLIN

>>18198332
for you

>>18197459
honey is food, you can live on real honey for decades indeed. There are tribes in Africa that live mostly on honey and Japanese monks that ate only honey.
