If you had to choose between salt and pepper and could only have one to put on your food for the rest of your life, which would you choose? Salt? Or pepper?

Pepper, no hesitation. I barely add any salt to my dinners anyway and can very easily live without it. Pepper wouldn't be possible, I love it too much.

hi Nykkee! i would definitely prefer to use salt. i think that salt can make every food taste better. salt for me is the most basic seasoning or flavoring. although, it is not really healthy to have too much salt. we should take salt in moderation.. especially when you are saying that I would be using ONLY it for the rest of my life.. lol.. =D

You sound like my sister. She loves salt. I know that it is bad for us but some people still love it anyway.

I love them both so this is a hard one. I will have to say salt, because it gives food a lot of flavor. These days I've been using sea salt, as it is supposed to be better for you.

I love pepper but i'd rather choose salt bcoz who would want to eat food without a taste on it? Well, people with high blood pressure wants to stay away from salt. But as far as you dont abuse salt then it is better to have on the table.

If I had to choose between salt and pepper, I would definitely choose salt , not that I use it that often either. I would use it in moderation, just to give some taste to the food . I hardly use pepper in my food. I have a small bottle of pepper and it has lasted me for more than a year and it's still half full :)

I would choose pepper. it really perks up the food and gives that sharp hot taste. Salt just makes things salty and we have too much salt in our food anyway. I use Mrs. Dash or the store brand equivalent in place of salt. The food tastes much better too.

I would choose pepper. I like pepper on many things and I know it's better for me than salt. Although I would miss salt on french fries, but that's about the only time I would miss it. Now if you asked my husband to choose salt or pepper, I know he would choose salt. He uses too much salt, I'm always yelling at him about that. He probably thinks I'm a nag LOL.

I would have to choose pepper. I love eating spicy food and pepper gives your food a little spice.

Definitely salt. I know it's not the healthiest choice in the world. But I put it on practically everything.

pepper adds more to a dish than salt. sodium occurs in most foods and wont need additional amounts.

i would have to choose salt because i really like salty foods. when i am hungry i only crave for salty foods, nothing else. pepper is just a subsitute for me. i can live without pepper. but without salt everything i will eat will be tasteless as it may seem to me.

hi Nykkee, I always prefer salt over pepper, salt adds taste to my food with salt I can eat it but without salt I cannot eat any food at all.so I select salt at all cost.
