It isn't that difficult. Food does not naturally contain salt. As you have said, most modern food has salt, because the salt has been added. It is not there naturally. I never eat salt.
I don't ever put salt on food either, but you absolutely need sodium from somewhere to live - I assume most food has enough naturally and of course pacakged food has more than one could possibly need. I have never liked salty snacks.
Even foods that simply don't need sodium have a ton added if any procecssing takes place. I just don't get it. it drives me crazy that they add preservatives to so many foods just because people insist on absurd shelf-lives. If people just plan their meals, they won't be left with food laying around uneaten for months. For the most part, my fridge is emnpty at the end of each week.
