I agree that salting food that is lacking in flavour is good but if the food is already flavoursome then it doesn't need any salt added to it.

What foolishness
Sense of flavor differs person to person
The right amount of salt for you to enjoy whatever dish may not be the same as my liking
Salt is basically short circuiting the taste buds some need more while others need less to enjoy the very same thing
.... not eating salt for 15-20 days allows taste buds to have a fresh start
Try it sometime just as an experiment to be aware as to how heavily salted the day to day stuff you eat really is

that's not why people like salt

I do, but only because it's true. Salt can be a flavor enhancer, but it is also frequently used to mask a lack of inherent flavor.

This is not why salt is king of the cooking world ...

If you cook say, a fillet of salmon without salt, let's say a basic ass way, cook over hot coals.

It would taste good because of the char coals.

How would you advance the flavors? Even adding just a sprinkle of salt on both sides would enhance the flavors, that's how spices work. It's not tricking taste buds, it's almost stimulating them in a way.

What?

If something tastes good on its own it will only taste better with salt. Why wouldnt you want food to taste as good as possible?

Practically nothing is flavorsome enough to qualify, though. Fresh fruits, a few greens that are palatable with some kind of acidic dressing, and really, *really* fresh meat, I mean the trout you caught five minutes ago or the venison you got an hour before, animal protein like that can get by with the Maillard reaction and nothing else. But that's a very narrow range. Functionally speaking, about everything needs salt.

Steak crust can be over salted. Too much salt will mask the charred flavor.

For health reasons
In the western diet food is basically a driver of disease specifically North America
Too much salt or sugar or fat most regularly a combination of them all .... people with poor taste are who enjoy junk and fast food not to mention sickening diners
imagine the general population being outright ignorant and happy to be so

As long as you work out and sweat you literally have no reason to worry about salt. Especially if you also sauna.

I think the point, you dense motherfucker, is that food that tastes good already has enough salt.
