Salt - no one today including some French chefs, no longer salt their food enough, and it drives me crazy!!

One of my favorite BBC television shows, was 'Pie In The Sky" starring the late lamented actor, Richard Griffiths as Detective Inspector Henry Crabbe,  a long-serving police officer in the fictional county of Westershire, England. Although very much his own man and an independent thinker, he is not a maverick, nor has he any particular neuroses; indeed, Crabbe is a highly intelligent, gentle and thoughtful man of high moral principle. On the other hand he does have one passion in life: food. He dreams of retiring from the police to run his own restaurant serving good English fare. The show focused on his crime solving abilities and also his cooking at his restaurant, "Pie in the Sky'

One of the things I loved about the show and his character, was that when he ate out, he always brought along a lovely salt shaker which he used a lot, because the food was not properly salted. You laugh, but I don't, because I find most restaurants I go to in the United States, I find there is a lack of salt in their cooking and most dishes albeit look wonderful, taste flat. 
What the heck is the matter with chefs today? I have begun as of late, taking my own salt shaker and using it quite often on meals that I am served. 
It's not just me, David Lebovitz of France fame, also takes his own salt shaker and as  I, finds even in France, the chefs are not using salting properly.
