Linux Journal has learned fellow journalist and long-time voice of the Linux community Robin "Roblimo" Miller has passed away. Miller was perhaps best known by the community for his roll as Editor in Chief of Open Source Technology Group, the company that owned Slashdot, SourceForge.net, freshmeat, Linux.com, NewsForge, and ThinkGeek from 2000 to 2008. He went on to write and do video interviews for FOSS Force, penned articles for several publications, and authored three books, The Online Rules of Successful Companies, Point & Click Linux!, and Point & Click OpenOffice.org, all published by Prentice Hall.

True.
the average first world diet doesn't tend to be lacking in salt
Right. Unless you -only- shop for raw food and prepare it yourself, you'll get more than enough sodium chloride.
(I do the vast majority of my shopping in the produce aisle.)
Pretty much any processed food will have salt added.
Where I typically get my canned veggies ($1/2), I have occasionally seen the low-salt stuff, but that's not the norm there.
Protip: They typically run specials on canned goods at Thanksgiving and Christmas ($0.39).
Try to buy then.
I have even found low cost (not Mrs. Dash) versions of No-Salt in the spice aisle.
One was onion powder, garlic powder, and parsley flakes.
(After getting the jar with the label, I started mixing my own and putting it in that container.)
Another type has those herbs plus celery seed and carrot with some actual spices, which is more like the name brand thing.
At one point, they started putting in cornstarch filler.
