What has logic got to do with it? What, apart from the idiosyncratic
workings of your mind, would lead you to believe that someone would
not eat freshwater molluscs without salt?
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Please. For the start, YOU wouldn't eat ANYTHING without salt. Just
try it. Make some food at home, but without salt. You CAN eat salt by
itself
(i.e. not in food, but pure salt) before and/or after your meal, but your
meal HAS TO BE saltless. EVERY human, no matter where he is living, if
salt
is nearby or far away from him, eats SALTY food. NO human licks salt,
EVERY human eats ONLY salty food. -- Mario Petrinovic

Bollocks.
------------------------------------------------------------

And you know WHY this all is irrational. What is the REASON to eat
salty food? People eat salty food because food WITHOUT salt is TASTELESS. It
doesn't have a taste. Which is IRRATIONAL. Why? Because if we STARTED to eat
this very food WITHOUT salt, then we would be ADAPTED to the TASTE of that
food WITHOUT salt. Just like the taste of fruits. We do have salt hunger
when we eat fruits just like when we eat any other food. Only we DON'T salt
fruits because salt would DESTROY the TASTE of fruits. By the same LOGIC, if
we started to eat saltless meat, we WOULD'T (NO WAY) salt meat, because salt
would destroy the taste that we like. So, salting meat is as senseless
(irrational) as salting fruits.
Only if we started to eat salty meat in the first place (marine
shellfish, which is JUST the kind of meat ANY primate can EASILY eat, and
ESPECIALLY primate with our dentition), only then we would insist on eating
ONLY salty meat, and no other meat. Just like Hobbits insisted, as you can
clearly see. Because it is IRRATIONAL for a primate species NOT to eat
freshwater molluscs.
But you don't understand any of this anyway, so don't bother about
this (which you will not, anyway). -- Mario Petrinovic
