Maybe so; maybe not. Wild living animals eat cooked foods (forest
fires,
steam vents, etc), frozen foods (all along the snowline in both
hemispheres), mix foods (wadging, going back and forth between foods
and
often not eating their foods in instincto-like sequence), even have
been
seen to dip foods into the ocean in an apparent effort to salt them.
And
all animals seem to avail themselves of natural salt licks where ever
available.

Further, the "should not" part is a bit strange in a way. Is there
some
deity keeping score? ;)
