Try eating nothing but salt, see how that works out for ya. “Food” is metabolizable, salt isn’t. Salt’s as necessary as water, yes, but also like water, it’s not enough on its own.

I never gave “my” definition of organic and logic really has nothing to do with it, it has an objective scientific definition already. With all due respect, if you’re out there buying organic salt, you’re exactly the kind of under-informed, over-paying consumer I’m trying to look out for.
