Some people had unlimited access to salt, and their tribes didn't die out.
Most people have distinct taste limits for too salty and not salty enough, and those are naturally about right.
There are, of course, multiple conflicting studies about salt intake vs mortality. I figure, relax and give your body what it wants.

Right here, and often.
Wouldn't there be natural selection to make people not want to eat lethal amounts of salt?
Would natural selection select for an amazing complex and inferior eye?
Since most who die by eating too much salt only do so after the end of their reproductive age, there is little evolutionary pressure in that direction.
Evidently, yes. Nature did better in some other beasts. Evolution builds on what sort-of worked before, even where a conscious designer could have imagined better ways. There are plenty of features in animals that look like blunders to an engineer.

Since old folk take up room and consume resources, evolution should kill them off after they stop reproducing. It follows that men live longer than women.
I told you that most people don't believe in evolution.
Yup, look like blunders to an engineer.
OK, stop pulling my leg, will you?

An Owl's eyes do not move in their head, but they have remarkable vision and tracking capacity.
An eagle could read a newspaper from 50 yards away. Tiny eyes yet way more rods and cones per sq mm than we have Put a lens in front of it and a brain behind it and VOILA!
God really did some great stuff before he let it all go to pot. ;-)

A quote:
And while most humans have 20/20 vision, eagles are blessed with an astounding 20/5 vision. That means that what looks sharp and clear to us at 5 feet is just as clear to an eagle from 20 feet away. No wonder we use the term “eagle eyes” to describe superb vision.

Duh, forgot about the carbs thing. I though it might have still be sugar is the enemy time. I have yet to meet a "refined sugar is bad!!!" person who can explain ANY steps in the sugar refining process.
The clue levels about sugar a really quite bad. Nobody seems to understand traditional "brown sugar" is a just white sugar with the hog feed added back to it. It's not raw sugar and not a "natural" product by any measure.
My absolute favorite was the 1980s "zen diet" where peopel starved to death eating nothing but trash like brown rice.
owls and eagles also have the intelligence of a doorknob. They also don't seem to ever play or have fun, like other birds. Check with a local ornithologist or raptor expert if you don't believe me.
My daddy-in-law (well, one of them) was a cajun cane farmer and owned a share in a co-op processing plant.
The juice is squeezed out of the cane, crystallized, and spun in a gigantic perforated centrifugal drum, where hot water is sprayed to remove the molasses. That's done a few times until it's white.
We could fill up buckets with the first stage crystals, light brown, what you can pay extra for at Safeway as "Turbinado sugar." They managed that with bulldozers.
Yes, brown sugar has extra molasses added back in.
The cows loved molasses on their hay.
Morons here have killed their dogs by feeding them veggie diets.

Macro-biotic it was called, IIRC.
A famous brain surgeon was diagnosed with bone cancer and it was running rampant down his spine.
He went 100% macro-biotic and it cleared out and he survived. That does not mean that it works for everyone.
Right. Carnivore.
I have a war story from the 1970s:
Some friends of mine from college lived in a commune in Baltimore. They bought into the Zen theory that brown rice was the perfect food, and were living off of a 50# bag of it. It's very cheap. It's amazing how many ways one can use brown rice - I had them all over time. I like brown rice, but not *that* well.
Anyway, a semi-girlfriend of mine lived there as well, and my solution was to feed her a steak from time to time, until the madness lifted. It doesn't take all that much meat to solve the problem.
Eventually, the commune's main priest of brown rice collapsed one day from malnutrition, and ended up in the hospital. He did recover, but the cult of brown rice did not. And they were only halfway through that 50# bag. Don't know what happened to it. The rats probably loved it.
