My impression is that the cheap stuff comes from mines, which are dried up ancient oceans. Ancient oceans...that weren't full of humanity's toxic waste... I'm not saying mined salt is healthy before it's purified, I have no idea. It's just that superficially, I don't get why the "healthy" choice is obviously the kind with microplastics and Fukushima goodness and a million other things nobody's catalogued that can't be in the mined stuff. But it's not romantic to get your table salt from the Detroit salt mine, which is probably why they produce salt for road de-icing these days.
