      The parent commenter must be eating something like canned nuts or some other salted snack. You don’t need very much salt to survive so I could imagine that they wouldn’t die if they ate some of that on a regular basis.

      The idea that salt, the oldest seasoning known to mankind, produced by evaporating seawater, is not “natural” or must be excluded in a plant-based diet is wild.

        The original commenter had a major heart episode, then I’m not surprised they’d be switching to a low-sodium diet, however. Cheap, highly-processed foods are laden with sodium. I am needing to switch to a similar diet as well, I just haven’t figured out recipes that I like that are cheap and simple to cook at home.
