Answer 1

I mean, even dear have figured out “this rock tastes good, I should lick it”

sodium is vital for all animals, if you dont have enough, you crave it to the point where if you smell salt you will find out where that smell is comming from and lick it.

So our body rewards this by making it taste good in small concentrations, but not in high concentrations so you dont want to only eat salt.
