Salt should come from mines.

The sea salt craze has always seemed odd to me. Have most people in the USA never been to a beach? Do people really think that the sea is a good source of salt?

What I associate with the sea: seagull droppings, rotten seaweed, spilled oil, dumped WWII chemical weapons, raw sewage...

Then I go to the store and see a box of Triscuit crackers featuring sea salt. Yum??????

I'd rather consume some plastic or birdshit than continue destroying mountains for a substance we literally have oceans of. I think many people feel the same way
