The vegan place to discuss things.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.

NaCl isn't bad for you. It's like anything- in moderation it's fine. You actually need salts of various kinds to be healthy (including NaCl)

Yes, I guess I mean weaning off excess salt. I feel now that too much salt deadens your taste buds so that moderately salted food seems bland.

Yeah I never add salt to my food, it's either got salt in it already or doesn't need it as far as I'm concerned- don't need another vice to have to wean off in my 50s.

The way i have learned that the ratio of natrium and kalium is a more important factor than the actual amount(in reasonable amounts). At least in my country that has led to popularity of table salt that has had about 30-60% of it's NaCl replaced with KCl.
