Confusion is the state we get in when we are dealing with someone's
truth that conflicts with our own. The plants take up the salts from
the medium their roots are in and structure themselves accordingly.
So I figure it out from the other side of the coin. We are land
animals therefore we should eat land based plants. Let the sea
creatures have their domain. Don't you think. There are choices that
abound in nature and we are stuck with decisions. There are also too
many horror stories of "a lack of this and lack of that," makes us
sick. But, I'm discovering it is more to an excess amount of the
unwanted things that tend to be the culprit of disease. Your
cravings are just an addiction to something familiar and it is hard
to handle a loss of an addiction. So as a result you pick something
else to fill the void of a food item eaten in the past that might be
the ticket to solve your loss. I find eating chard a good choice to
fill that salt craving but, even I could be wrong in my feeling
things out and just fooling myself for the time being, but I don't
think so.
