Having problems with message search?
Given the choice I guess most humans have preferred their food to be salty, if not of course sweet. Blood tastes salty --- I am quite good at cutting myself ! --- and being a nominal 0.9% salt a drink of blood would be both tasty and a significant contribution to the daily salt requirement.
Doe cows consume salt licks because they think they need it or because it is tasty. Do cows and humans have an instinct that salt is good for them?

Obviously this is something that is incapable of proof one way or other but, to my mind, a reasonable assumption
Whether it was done deliberately (the point at issue?) is another matter
