Disclaimer & comment rulesThis is interesting but I never noticed too much salt in the food in Argentina. However, much as I love Chile, they really do over-salt the food ........ and then add more...and more. It is a running joke with my friends there.

Nov 14th, 2012 - 01:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They use a very finely ground salt here,..too fine. You can barely taste it. Personally, I use the coarse grind. It makes me use less because I can taste it. On another subject, ..like the pic for article.
Nov 14th, 2012 - 01:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentine girls..............mmm!!!Who cares salt!!
Nov 14th, 2012 - 01:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I used to be a major salt-aholic and have serious disagreements with Argentine foreign policy but banning salt is a crime. Also it may chase all those cute girls off the beach. I just don't want to risk the “correlation” being “causal.”
Nov 14th, 2012 - 02:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You can be very ill by not having enough salt in your body. I just don't understand the banning. @5 I agree, they can advise but why ban?
Nov 14th, 2012 - 02:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Those are fakies.
Nov 14th, 2012 - 02:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Maybe the Argentine Health authorities should ban boob jobs. Big breasts are distracting and many cause auto accidents.
Nov 14th, 2012 - 03:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0At least you have something to cushion you from the steering wheel on impact.
Nov 14th, 2012 - 03:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@6 I completely agree. Only a small percentage of the population is salt sensitive for hypertension.
Nov 14th, 2012 - 04:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Vegetarians often like added salt. I carry a mini shaker because two health food store delis around here don't have.

Of course not bizarre that Mata Hari jumped into to write 2 comments when she saw tide and bodies.
Nov 14th, 2012 - 06:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Dang those Argentine women are so darn sexy! Whoooo!
Nov 14th, 2012 - 07:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I hope that salt reduction will not affect their look.
Another example of a humaine government looking after the well being of its people.

11@ share your opinion.I had an English girlfriend, Lucy .. beautifu shel! :)
Nov 15th, 2012 - 12:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@6, not having enough salt in your body can lead to coma. You need salt as a conductive agent for muscles and nervous system. Without salt, you body would basically shut down as electrical signals from the brain will not reach there respective targets.
Nov 15th, 2012 - 03:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The human body can not produce salt, so banning salt is quite frankly idiotic on many levels. I wonder how long it will be before people are rushed into hospital.
On another note, nice picture.
