thou me would rather use Resource - Just a pinch of salt one
I think you're misunderstanding that the whole food mechanic in Civ V is an *abstraction* of food, health, and birth rate. It is not literal food.
No, salt does not provide literal food. It is a preservative and seasoning. Salting food allows it to stay fresh longer so that you can store it in - say - a granary so that it is available during times of famine.
The sodium from salt is also a necessary nutrient for the human body, so having access to it contributes to overall health, which helps people to live longer and healthier, which increases overall population and growth rates. This is why the game is justified in having a Hospital building that provides +5 food and an Aqueduct that allows food to carry over when the city grows. These buildings do not provide literal food, but they improve the health of the residents and increase the population, which is represented by the game mechanic of "food".
