I haven't added salt to food in 15 years. I have high blood pressure and don't want to risk any possible increase. Besides, a lot of food we eat already has enough salt in it and I haven't missed it. If I add anything at all, it's pepper or one of the many flavors that Mrs. Dash gives us.
The Salt Institute has a large FAQ page about salt. You can find out what salt exactly is, how much is produced in the U.S., effects it has on the human body, how animals react to salt, how much salt an athlete needs. There's even a huge list of recipes that contain salt. Recipes that contain salt? Wouldn't that be too big a list to have even on the web? Actually, they're recipes for food where salt is a vital ingredient.

I was teased while I was reading it ("you're reading a book about *salt*?!), but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I too did not add salt to any meals as a rule as I'd expect them to come suitably seasoned. Here I soon realised that virtually no food comes pre-seasoned. Now i'm sloshing the stuff over pretty much everything!
At home I like to cook with a regular Kosher salt for everyday and each time I go to the UK I stock up with Maldon Sea Salt. I can't cook without it!
