I tried KCl and didn't like the taste. Instead I've got more used to the unsalted
taste of many foods. Not that I use none, but it's used more sparingly.

I did my own independent study many years ago. I was eating in a restaraunt that
had equal size smoking and non-smoking sections. I asked the waitress if she
noticed any difference between the customers in the two sections, expecting
maybe tips would be different. She said they had to refill the salt shakers 3
times as often in the smoking section.

Why just the UK ? Some of our newspapers are superb. There's a big
difference between the traditional 'broadsheets' and 'tabloids'.
Papers like the Times ( of London ) are impeccable.
