I was shaking some salt just the other night thinking: “I feel so dead inside. There is a void. The salt, it seasons my food yet drains the flavor from my world.” I despaired.
But, then, just as I watched the remaining color drain from my plate as a cruel grey mist, I saw this video. And hoped. For the first time since my last lingering taste of pink Himalayan crystal salt, I felt the vigor of life renewed. I had SMALT to thank.
