Anyway, my thesis is that eating salted food is learned.

Vegetable is also preserved like that? Are fruits preserved like that?
No problem with learning, but why we DISLEARNED to eat saltless food. Food should be just as good saltless as salty. But it isn't.
Also, why we dislearned to eat raw meat? We eat ONLY burned meat. To burn meat toy have to collect wood, make fire (and tell absolutely everybody your position), burn for at least an hour (Aborigines burn meat that much, and their meat is practicly raw, as someone said in this news group, yet they HAVE TO burn it, they CANNOT eat it raw). And repeat this for every meal. I mean, there has to be moments when you just wanted to eat meat like you used to do it for a long time, and you should actually prefer to eat it raw, but no, we NEVER eat meat raw. Yes we CAN eat raw meat, Japanesee eat raw fish, some eat raw blubber, only thing is, we CANNOT eat the terretrial meat raw, the very meat we were supposed to eat raw in the first place. The only meat every human can eat raw is shellfish.
All this is because we originally started to eat shellfish, raw salty meat. The terrestrial meat we got by hunting with fire, so we actually ate burned meat ALL THE TIME. -- Mario Petrinovic


Some vegies are salted and cured. Think pickles.
Fruits are usually ruined by salting, most often
dried but heavily sugaring fruit makes it last
longer.

Read what I wrote again. My point is that we have
not 'dislearned' to eat salted meat. We still salt
it because we we learned to like it that way.

As for eating raw meat? I offer:
http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-make-steak-tartare
and the statement that hunting peoples often eat
the liver of their prey raw as soon as they
butcher it.

Then, not very many hunting cultures will cook
three times a day. Once with left-overs is fine.

Oh, and shellfish is not particularly salty unless
you cook it in salt water. Neither is sushi (sashimi)
fish. The salt you get from eating sushi is cooked
into the rice or the soy sauce you add to it.

Trouble is, you speak in absolutes. There is nothing
easier to refute that an absolute statement.
