121 Salt & Other Chemicals

Now that America is on the road to getting involved with the world and becoming a mechanical, industrial company, it's time to ramp up salt production and get in on the chemical revolution.  

It's not just salt that matters but all the associated sodium compounds or sodas.
So it's a turn about the kitchen chemistry kit, an explanation of where they all work - and the arrival of actual modern baking soda - and how it, and the new modern food systems made the modern coffee cake happen.

So get salty - if you don't stay salty.
