Why on earth would it bother you so much that other people are in the
habit of adding salt to their food.

I am not in the habit of adding salt. When I was a kid my mother always
seemed to add enough salt to the cooking water that I never needed to
add any, and I seem to use enough that I don't need to add it. There are
a couple things that I always salt, like asparagus, corn on the cob and
fries. Other than that, I would have to seriously wonder what's missing
from my from my food. I would think that it might be more of a comment
about the taste of the food you have given me if I salt it than it
should be if I were one of those who automatically adds salt.
