@KathyBenison Just catching up with this. Thanks. My tweet references table salt as coming from any evaporated waters, colloquially referenced as "seas". This is not a commonly known fact, as can be seen in the original comment thread. What fraction of mined salt comes from surface waters? — PolitiTweet.org
