No, I get that.

I've also eaten enough pizza to know that it is always made with less salt than I like, because that is the preference of most people that eat it. If I want to salt it before tasting it, I am going to.



You must drink salt for a living...

Have you ever checked how much salt is in a single slice of pizza?

Keeping in mind that the daily recommended max is 2500mg. There's like 600-1200mg of sodium alreadly in a slice of pizza before you add your salt.

Pepper, although my doctor has told me to add some salt to my diet. I was dangerously low on sodium according to my last work-up.



If you can lose a lot of sodium in sweat. So if you work out or are a sweatier person in general, that can happen.

When I quit smoking and got my sense of taste back to a bit more normal, I found that I didn't like the taste of salt. So I never added it to any foods I cooked. If it were already added to food, that was fine. I tend to cook more fresh foods though rather than box/canned stuff.

I will salt/pepper to taste AFTER I have tasted it... I hate ppl who salt stuff before they even taste it. My BIL used to do that, so I made something WAY too salty on purpose...hahaha, he gagged after he salted it.



haha that's awesome. Bet he never did that again!

My grandfather used to salt his scrambled eggs without even tasting them because my grandmother never remembered to season them the way he liked. One day she remembered and seasoned them just right, but he didn't know that because she didn't tell him, and so he proceeded to dump salt all over them and yeah

But that was the only time she ever remembered to season his stuff that way, so it wasn't like he had to worry about it after that anyway

I rarely ever add salt or pepper to my food, unless it's potatoes.

If I cook the meal, I never need to add salt or pepper - because I season to my own personal preference and taste. It's rare that others need to salt or pepper food that I prepare for them, but occasionally it happens with people who are particular salt-a-holics.

pepper, but I taste stuff first...why would I season something before I've tasted it?

I tend to sweat more than average. I find I can be low on electrolytes if I haven't had something a bit saltier.


Sometimes I get this urge to consume something, even after having eaten a meal without any.

I rarely salt anything. More likely to put garlic on things I want seasoned.
