Epic Write-up About Salt And Sodium

[JudiBlueHen]

Grazing animals seek out salt licks. Farmers put out salt/mineral blocks for the livestock to lick at will. They seem to know exactly how much they need. As salt was quite valuable in ancient times, I suspect it was liberally added to bread and meal. Most of the "what early humans ate" articles are for entertainment or product sales.
