Actually they don't get offended, it's mostly harder from a money/energy/time POV. My mom and I only really argue when she wants me to bake something and I tell her no, we have enough junk already or when she buys me stuff like donuts.
They get mad at me sometimes with Lola though, it took a few major fights to get my mom to switch from a handful of buddy biscuits to a handful of green beans for her nightly treat. Lola is just as happy with the green beans.
Low sodium salt is potassium instead of sodium, my mom's bf has high bp and he used to use nu salt, we didn't know until my mom filled the salt shaker one day. It doesn't have any iodine in it though. There are other reduced sodium salts with a mix of sodium and potassium.

Some people also use it to make a DIY gatorade, salt + nu salt + flavoring. I'm going to try it because hydration is a problem with one of my meds.
