Sea salt...evaporated from sea water..ingredients: salt plus all the crap we've thrown in the oceans over the last 10,000 years. I'll take pure Detroit salt, thank you.

so, tell us, where does the "pure" detroit salt come from. someone refine minerals into pure NaCl, and then dump it in a pit below detroit?
 
You can get iodized sea salts too.

My family preference is raw sea salt + a salt grinder. For those complaining that sea salt is too coarse... get a friggin salt grinder! Then you can make your salt anything from powder to as coarse as you bought it.

If you are from an island nation, table salt IS sea salt. And yes, iodine is added to it.

Depends on where you bought the salt nes pas? And stop bragging about being boat people. Some people might get jealous/offended. Not me, I can't stand being on a boat. May have something to do with being from an island.

364 days to go, hang in there. I am in a somewhat worse situation. I am a Coke person but there is no more coke at the office so I am drinking Pepsi....

One of the more current fads than pomegranate is acai berries. They contain more anti-oxidants than just about anything else, as well as all kinds of other good stuff...why they're so good, they will even unfuck your girlfriend...;P
My Voc-Rehab counselor is a MLM marketer of MonaVie...a berry juice blend (fucking expensive...$45/750 ml and IMO, isn't that great tasting)
It seems like every where I go, I see acai juice, acai berries, etc.

I like to tell people into anti-oxidant that a cheaper way to accomplish the same thing is just to breath less. Less oxigen in your body means much lower oxidation. Hopefully some will asphyxiate.

Who am I thinking about then? I thought you were the one referring to being on a ship all the time... Or am I thinking about Lolawiz?

We use Kosher salt for most of our salty things here. More or less the same salty flavor...less sodium. (larger granules, more pores = less actual salt (sodium) per tsp.

Makes no sense.

larger granules, more pores = less salt =! SAME FLAVOR.

You're fooling yourself with the same tsp, but that means it has that much less salt.
