WTF....you can't sell table salt?
Is this rule a joke?
Time for another salt march. Let's end the tyranny
lol
That rule is really interesting
Not sure why they have that rule but if I had to guess.... people were selling counterfeit salt that was dangerous. Or selling things advertised as salt when it wasn't (think cocaine). There's a lot of food safety problems and scams in China so an ebay like site cracking down on something specific actually doesn't seem that weird when you think of it from a health point of view. Had a friend recently who got sick eating bbq lamb, turns out there's been a lot of places selling rat meat advertising it as lamb recently. So yeah...
