NaCl: seed is a tree... work with me. But it's a rock.

Let us take a moment and pay our respects to salt. It's a rock. Halite is the mineral form of salt. I love salt. It tastes good. Makes things that don't taste so good taste better. I think it should be it's own food group. Rocks. Yeah you got your complex carbs and your meats and fish and let's not forget veges.(Do I get a new food credit?)

Salt is made up of Sodium and Chloride. Cl is the chemical notation for Chloride (I get that) and Na is for Sodium (There isn't an 'N' or and 'A' in that word. Yeah I'm at a loss here too.) either of which if you ate it would kill you.

I guess if you ate enough salt it would kill you, too. Whatever. It's yummy on fries and tortilla chips.

I'm sure someone right now while you are reading this (not while I'm writing it because nobody but me can read it right now as I'm typing it. Nope nobody in my office. Just me.) and maybe it's you. Is thinking salt is evil and blah High blah blah blood blah pressure blah blah. So sorry. I didn't draw that card. You may denounce salt in your blog. (OK, Fine! I will publish comments denouncing salt.)

I drew the cholesterol card. No butter. (I am considering another butter post, but I still think it's very yummy.) I didn't draw the high blood pressure card so sue me. Good thing we have tests for this shit or we wouldn't know what to denounce in our blogs.
