There's only 2 rules that I can think of right now
Rule 1: Don't ridicule

Slashing salt can save lives – and it won’t hurt your hip pocket or tastebuds (theconversation.com)

The average Australian eats far too much salt – almost double the recommended daily maximum of 5 grams, equivalent to a teaspoon.

Useful context: "salt" (used above) =/= "sodium" (the thing you normally see on the nutrition label in Australia).

5 grams of salt is equivalent to 2000 mg of sodium, since sodium chloride is 40% sodium and 60% chlorine by weight.
