Nature Versus Nurture: Why People Like Salt On Their Food
[ send me this essay ]
8 pages in length. Salt has been heralded as the pillar of life, inasmuch as the human body requires this natural substance to sustain function. Although the requisite amount is fractional – approximately 0.66% -- man could not live without its life-sustaining properties. An absence of salt within the human body creates problems that range from loss of appetite and exhaustion to poor digestion and, in some cases, even death if the absence is long enough and severe enough. Beyond health concerns, however, is the fact that ancient man discovered many other uses for salt, with food seasoning reflecting one of the most significant. Yet there are those who, for one reason or another, do not partake of salt as a seasoning, choosing to eat their food bland due to either nature or nurture. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
