Christian salt seller hopes to shake up market
"Retired barber Joe Godlewski says he was inspired by television chefs who repeatedly recommended kosher salt in recipes.
"I said, 'What the heck's the matter with Christian salt?'" Godlewski said, sipping a beer in the living room of his home in unincorporated Cresaptown, a western Maryland mountain community.
By next week, his trademarked Blessed Christians Salt will be available at http://www.memphi.net, the Web site of Memphis, Tenn.-based seasonings manufacturer Ingredients Corporation of America."
But wait, there's more.
""The fact is, it helps Christians and Christian charities," he said. "This is about keeping Christianity in front of the public so that it doesn't die. I want to keep Christianity on the table, in the household, however I can do it."
A one-time Catholic who now holds Bible studies in his home, Godlewski is a longtime entrepreneur. In 1998, he founded a kielbasa sausage business now run by a nephew. In 2000, he introduced the Stretch & Catch, a fishing gizmo that he says was copied and buried by foreign competitors.
If the salt takes off, Godlewski plans an entire line of Christian-branded foods, including rye bread, bagels and pickles."
Pictures of the packaging are here. Who the hell designed the packaging anyway, Hugues de Payens???

(If I didn't have many respected friends who call themselves Christians, I'd be saying "What can I do to help it off the cliff?")
