For context, my wife is always criticizing how I don't add enough salt to the dishes I cook. I also have no tats. She does.
But at least you can always add more salt lol

Add acid instead of salt. Like vinegar or lemon juice. Better flavor, healthier, and same effect. Too many people over salt it's god awful.
2 tabs of LSD on my dinner it is!
Hey it's been a couple of hours Are you okay
Salt and acid are two separate (and central) components of building flavor.
Actually, acid contributes to tooth decay. The reason sugar causes tooth decay is that bacterial metabolise the sugar using anaerobic respiration, which produces acid. When you eat acid, you skip the middleman and go straight to cavities.
I feel like oversalting is a popular attempted cover up for mediocrity. I'm tired of waking up the next morning after a dinner out feeling like the mummy from Brendan Fraser's "the mummy"
Sometimes, yep. Other times people just get desensitized from eating too much of it.
People also tend to add more seasoning (particularly salt) as they get older and their senses dull.
To my knowledge, sensory organs also don't dull. You might need glasses or have hearing damage, but dulling is a new one to me
Dunno. I was going off common wisdom I'd heard over the years about people over salting their food as they get older.
Mayo clinic says yes though.
Oh cool, I will be reading that later!
Went to a new Asian place. Cheff had no idea what vegan means. Cheff is on the phone with his family while taking my order. Cheff starts singing in mandarin while cooking. Best Asian restaurant in the city.
was his name Cheff?

You need to add salt as you cook. Yes, you can add it afterwards, but you don't get the same flavor layering, food texture, salt penetration, and for some foods, the necessary chemical reactions in your dishes. In some sense, I feel confident that your wife is right based purely on the fact that you think you can just add salt after it's cooked and get the same thing.
Source: have tattoos and cook food. 😁
I'm a white dude with no tattoos, but I have this argument all the time with my family. "You can add hot sauce and salt afterward for yourself!" That's not how this works Susan. That's not how any of this works. All of cooking is chemistry and physics! And get over it! If I'm cooking I'm using salt and guajillio peppers!

"Tattoos. Coke. And chronic stress. These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect line cooks. But Head Chef Marco accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction: Chemical Gay."
Real and gay
The frog legs are making my monocle gay.
I think gay is tattoo equivalent for cooking...
This guy foods. He had me when said he has tattoos.
Yeah, it generally works fine for sauces, but you're not going to get salt to permeate into your noodles from just throwing it on top afterwards, for example.
It's like they're not even doing coke 😮💨
I was gonna say, it's like he's not even on meth. Are these people even trying anymore?
