Okay, so maybe not that long-running.
Doctor Dive says: if you - like me - have high blood pressure, clogged arteries and heart problems, stop putting this shit in your mouth. I gave it up decades ago and - in much the same way as giving up sugar in coffee makes sugary coffee taste as truly disgusting as it is - after a couple of weeks of salt addiction cravings I suddenly discovered what food actually tastes like. Believe me, it's like waking up to a world of colour after having lived life in black and white.
The downside is that most restaurant meals now taste too salty to eat; the upside is that I'm still alive.

Yowza! Excellent analogy, Dive. Maybe you've gotten me to try it. I don't eat much salt, but none would be even better.
Yay! Good luck, Petrea. You'll be amazed at how different (and more intense and amazing) food tastes once you've weaned yourself off the heart-attack powder.
They sneak salt in nearly everything these days. We don't salt anything either when we cook at home. Good for you for your perseverance!
When I first saw this photo, I wondered if it had been "Photoshopped" because of the colors. But I see it isn't. Amazing!
Weird colours, Ms.M. No Photoshop required.
Yay you and N for going salt-free. As you say; with all the added salt, fat and sugar in processed foods these days, going salt-free and organic farm market shopping is the only healthy option left.
