Spot on!

The westernised diet is a "redefinition" of normal. What is "normal" is
what our body is genetically equipped to cope with. Salt laden processed
foods do not constitute a "normal" diet for humans regardless of whether
you think it is. Fresh fruit, vegetables and meat, untainted with salt,
is a normal and natural diet for us. Sure, our taste buds adapt to the
higher salt levels but our body, in general, does not. If you drop down
to a natural diet, a raft of modern day health problems disappear.
