All salt is sea salt... mined salt is the result of dried up ancient
seas. All salt contains many impurities until purified... mined salt
from ancient seas absolutely cointains dinosaur poop... but table salt
is purified. I think only morons spend all that money on filthy sea
salt... there are much more appetizing ways to flavor your food than
with excrement and used condoms and tampons.
