Food tastes bland without salt because the people preparing the food aren’t using spices and herbs to make the food have more flavor by itself. I hardly ever use salt on food I’m eating (I put it on french fries, tater tots, and sometimes hash browns).
When I cook, I use black pepper, lots of other herbs and spices, and usually garlic. For meats I marinade them usually for 12-24 hours before cooking them.
The end result is meat and other dishes that have an incredible amount of flavor in them, and no need for salt.
