You don't see as many foods that are preserved by the salt process as you once did. Doctors and health professionals have linked high sodium intake to be a major cause in high blood pressure. Prior to this, meats were commonly salt cured. You can still purchase salt tack, salt pork (fat back), salted kippers (little fish), and salt cured hams in some places.
