There's nothing wrong with using a little salt for just taste-reasons if you're a newbi to the diet - we all have to start somewhere, after all. I merely suggest that you look around for equally tasty alternatives(other people use raw ginger/garlic/onions/pepper/cayenne-pepper, among other raw spices). You can still use the salt occasionally in small amounts, just make sure it's sea-salt or rock-salt, not iodised table-salt.
Yes, I did throw out all table salt and stocked up on "designer" sea salt.

But I'll try other herbs and spices as well to see if I could reduce my salt dependancy eventually. Can one use an Indian spice, asafoetida? It tastes slightly salty. It's supposed to be good for digestion.
