The counterfactual world should really be obsessed with the fact that Asians put NACL on everything, too.  NACL is in soy sauce.  NACL is in tempura.  NACL is in fried rice.  An independent lab tested 48 items at an Asian fusion restaurant and detected NACL in 46 of them!  Will no one save health-conscious Americans from the perils of NAsianCL?<p>(Sarcasm off: salt is widely used across many cultures cuisines because salt is delicious.  This property is shared with MSG, but MSG is only called MSG when Asians use it.  When Italians use it it is called &quot;food.&quot;)
