Sodium hydroxide? Same great taste and it'll definitely put him off sodium compounds. And breathing.
 
trying to add something useful

if nothign looks like salt, make salt look like somethign else...

grind down a load of salt so its more like a powder, then after a while you can add almost anything to it!
 
it may just be in his head, does he taste the food before adding salt? because my grandad does this, doesn't even taste the food, as soon as the plate is in front of him he piles on the salt, even food thats already salted like chip shop chips.
 
I did something similar when I used to live with 4 girls who spent a lot of money on bottled water. Never drank from the tap. The kitchen floor was like a warehouse - they would buy cartons of the stuff.

One day I replaced the big bottle of Evian in the fridge with tap water and just kept quiet. They happily glugged it for the next 4 days or so before it ran out and they cracked open a new one.

I didn't say anything and never have. They would have never believed me anyway. I just wanted to prove it to myself.

I'm going to use my younger brother as a subject for an experiment. He is 14 and when sitting at the dinner table he will demand extra salt be added to whatever he is eating and I am 99% certain that it's all in his head because he's too used to adding salt to other foods like chips/fried goods etc and it's now become a habit.

I want to replace the salt pot with fake salt for a week or so and see if it really is in his head because the meals we have when we do sit at the table are generously salted anyway and the amount he adds is not in moderation so isn't at all healthy.

I've looked for fake salt online but it's not really easy finding a substitute!

Grow up and let him do what he wants. You ain't his parents and if he wants high blood pressure then so be it!
 
Estrogen will work.

Warn him that eating too much salt can cause the growth of man boobs, and he will quit once he sees the evidence for himself.
