haha, well I think that was implied. It's not as if you can literally write "the developing world" on a shipping label and just pour in a ton of morton's.

I agree that the advice given is overly vague. GP should list an actionable way to to give iodized salt.



How about just sending the iodine and let them iodize their existing salt supplies?


flaws:

1. same 'who do I write on the shipping label' concern

2. assumes a sufficient existing salt supply (perhaps these people already needed salt, so this aid healed two birds with one bandaid)

3. assumes knowledge about proper iodization (ratios, sanitation, etc)
