Like so many other things it's all about moderation

Too much = bad
Not enough = Bad

Today, too much salt is added to cheap foods to make them taste good so that they sell more. It really is that simple, and that's the problem.

These cheap foods often also have high fat content, so that they taste good so that they sell more.

It is also a form of natural selection. people who are too thick to understand the above, get overweight, get vascular/cardiac disease, and die younger therefore stengthening the gene pool for the future   

  . . . . . and of ourse I'm really slim aren't I         

unfortunately they make children before that

As mum is sat beside me, I asked her. Back in the 60s and 70s salt tablets were common for those stationed in hot weather, as you need more salt in the heat. However, they were mostly phased out after a number of deaths where the autopsy showed I dissolved salt in the system, with a recommendation to use more natural methods of boosting salt intake.

Quite correct, certainly in the RAF in the 50's and 60's there were bowls of salt tablets on tables in the mess at meal times in hot climes. I did notice their absence by the late 60's though.

Possibly. But if they start on the high salt - high fat foods early enough (which many youngster are certainly doing) then the peripheral vascular disease will cause erectile dysfunction which means  . . . . no procreation

That explains why I'd rather have a nice cup of tea nowadays
