[Scpg] making salt

[Owen Dell]

Hi all,

Has anyone ever made salt from ocean water? Is it safe to do? The  
latest issue of Sunset Magazine has (believe it or not) extensive  
coverage of a One Block Diet experiment. They mention making salt,  
and say that it takes 3 quarts of sea water to make 1/2 cup of salt.  
I'm intrigued and would like to try it. I assume you just go get some  
ocean and let it evaporate, probably in a glass baking dish. But if  
anyone has any experience with this I'd love to hear about it. We  
could have a salt person at each foodshare, keeping us all supplied.

The Sunset article and related info can be linked at http:// 
oneblockdiet.sunset.com/. Hats off to them for going all rad on us.

Owen
