@deprecated_ii more of an overcorrection, as there are plenty of cases where people do eat too much salt (especially true for those who eat out every day of the week instead of cooking for themselves).

Salt for the most part will not kill you, but eating unnatural amounts of it can be a problem. Just don't eat out as often.

It reminds me of sugar. Fine in natural quantities, but a problem when you eat it in levels humans were never designed to eat.
