Dear Moderator,

Please can you explain how it is that salt and bread are the same word
in ancient Hebrew. According to the Eden story, we ate a normal diet
like other animals until our fall, and our diet changed then to become
bread, seeds and grains subjected to fire. That salt provides the
spark for fire is interesting too, and that it is the source of the
word slave. Of course we are slaves, what other animal HAS to have
salt? What other animal alters almost everything it puts in its mouth
by subjecting it to fire? What other animal is quite as ill, or
obsessed with food, as the human? We may call our diet traditional,
but we may not call it normal.

But the question is about the link between bread and salt, please.
