@Jahlia: then the same argument applies to every single condiment. People like the taste of honey, they like the taste of butter, they like the taste of olive oil and they like the taste of lemon. People will eat what their tastebuds want them to eat this is where I see your argument failing in that it is superior over another one?
If this is the case isn't sugar more dominant?
People don't add sugar to nearly as many things that people add salt too. If we're talking about it being used as an ingredient, that makes it MAYBE on par with salt. But as for being used as a condiment, sugar is not used in nearly as many dishes as salt is. Also, I kind of feel a little dim not realizing this right away, but sugar is not a condiment, it is an ingredient . The debate is about the most superior condiment, not about the most superior ingredients in food/snacks etc. And even then, sugar is not on par with salt.
And as for where you claim my debate is failing, the entire purpose of condiments is to enhance the taste of foods for your tastebuds. If people didn't eat what their tastebuds wanted them to eat, then we wouldn't have such a variety in the foods we eat. Also, we wouldn't have condiments to begin with.click to expand

#1-That's if people eat too much salt, most people eat it in self-regulated doses. The purpose of putting salt on a food is for it to taste better, if you put excess salt on a food in most cases it tastes horrible. Putting excess salt on a food defeats the purpose of putting salt on it to begin with. And as for the people who eat excess salt via buildup from putting salt on everything they eat, the same can be said for practically all condiments.
-And #2 the reason why people don't cut back on water isn't because of it's lack of health concerns(which should be expected, we rely on it to live), it's because water doesn't have an attractive taste. Water is a mandatory necessity for life, we don't drink water for the taste we drink it to stay alive and to give us all of those healthy nutrients it provides. Though you did have a point about me comparing salt to water.
I used water in comparison because it's one of the basic things we drink on a daily basis and is one of the safest things you can consume without much worry of negative side effects. Regardless, it still has them maybe not to the extent of everything else, but it's bad effects are still there. Just like every other condiment.
I agree that every condiment has its downside. But you also have to know that water is a mandatory necessity for life and so is salt. Your body needs both to function properly. Even in iodized salt, where iodine is added, iodine is necessary for the production of thyroid hormone.
Most people do not eat salt in self-regulated doses, hence the spike in the healthcare industry of hypertension reducing medication and the fact that About 600,000 people die of heart disease in the United States every year—that's 1 in every 4 deaths. http://www.cdc.gov/heartdisease/facts.htm
Also, as I mentioned, and what you need to really look at here is NOT in fact table salt, but sodium derivatives that are used as preservatives and additives in foods. Salt in itself, sodium chloride nacl is a naturally occurring mineral. disodium triphosphate, monosodium glutamate *msg* are not. You can base your argument off of that.click to expand
Salt is not the only cause of hyperten

I'm confused but I think you're asking me where I draw the line between ingredients and condiments? —
A condiment is a substance used to add flavor to already prepared food.
An ingredient is a substance used to create food(s) and dishes, not to add flavor to them but to create them. Sugar is an ingredient, Salt is a condiment.

@ Jahila:
salt is both a condiment AND an ingredient
Yes, but sugar is not.

It seems like condiment in this debate doesn't seem to have a distinct meaning.
Posted by StoicGoat
con-di-ment
/kon-de-mint/
Noun
Something used to improve or enhance the taste or enjoyment of food.
Mustard, ketchup, and salt are all examples of condiments.
Which is the superior condiment?
There are a great many things that could be used to —enhance?? the taste or enjoyment of food (what is —food?? anyway?) that would not typically be considered condiments or found on the average grocery store shelf. Anything that fits the definition above is fair game.
Did anyone else just think of pot?
...I think I've been corrupted...
Oh noes!click to expand
