For what purpose?

I am going to go out on a limb and guess that OP would be implying that he aims to cook with the salt.
>>7881459
those tiny tasty rocks sure are tasty

It generally considered lazy writing to use a word twice like that in a sentence, it makes you seem lazy.

Salt is salt, no matter how you cut it, so use it with care. With that said, though, artisan salts aren't completely a meme as their impurities do give them a noticeable aftertaste, in the manner that mineral water tastes different from tap. Hence the sizeable market for 'finishing salts' that are applied AFTER the cooking's done.

To a certain degree yes. I stumbled upon this chef john video yesterday. it shows that the amount of salt in different salts can wildly vary by volume...

I knew that it made a difference, but didn't think the difference was so large.

I have no problem with purification and iodine but the modern anti-caking agents are pretty fucking nasty. Cyanide salts and nanoparticles are commonly used.
The anti-caking agents they used to use were pretty much fine, but currently tablesalt seems designed as a poison by TPTB as so many compounds in our daily lives are.

Well obviously the amount matters, but unless you over or under salt, your dish will taste the same no matter what type you're using. And you should always salt to taste anyway, with the obvious exception of baking.

A lot of the varying kinds of salt are produced in different ways

instead of pickling, or brining, or preserving, or any of the number of other things you can do with salt that don't pertain to heating other food.
