       SALT FACT

       The Word "Salary" Comes
       From "Salt!"
       Salt, our oldest
       preservative, was
       extremely rare in
       the past. So rare,
       in fact, that it was
       often used as
       pay.
       Imagine...earning
       a couple of
       tablespoons of
       salt for a hard-
       days work.
       Today, salt is so
       common that
       restaurants give
       it away for free,
       and packaged
       food contains so
       much that it's far
       too easy to eat
       too much salt
       (salt is also
       known as
       "sodium").
