I'm a white dude with no tattoos, but I have this argument all the time with my family. "You can add hot sauce and salt afterward for yourself!" That's not how this works Susan. That's not how any of this works. All of cooking is chemistry and physics! And get over it! If I'm cooking I'm using salt and guajillio peppers!

It's normal when I'm making fucking chili Susan! And there's a difference between too much salt and adding the appropriate amount of salt.
And research has shown that the most effective way to not have problems with too much sodium in the blood/high blood pressure is to drink more fucking water.
And the person that complains to me about the salt levels in my food? A) didn't pay for the fucking food and B) drinks 12 fucking diet Dr peppers a day because "they are healthier." So fuck em!
