Being from Brazil, where table salt is universally iodized, I have a hard time understanding how in 2021 there are still rich countries out there that haven't figured out a proper iodine fortification program. And we even have some people saying they intentionally prefer non-iodized salt!
On the other hand, there was one time I had to do a short no-iodine diet and it was pain in the ass. I had had to go out of the way to find non-iodized salt and good luck finding any pre-packaged food without iodized salt...
