You are just so used to foods having salt in that, to begin with, stuff without added salt tastes bland. All processed foods have extra salt, as do most snack foods, and unfortunately a lot of canned foods.
We all know that too much sodium is no good for us, so if you try to cut salt out of your diet wherever possible, then you will start to appreciate the "real" taste of foods.
Why don't you try buying fresh vegetables every couple of days, instead of relying on canned veg. If you get organic, locally grown fresh veg, you will appreciate the taste much more.
I haven't added salt to my food, either during cooking or once on the plate for a good couple of years now. The food definitely tasted better. If you want to add flavours, try drizzling with olive oil, or sprinkling with freshly ground black pepper.

Salt's chemical composition makes our tastebuds more sensitive to individual flavors. So, when you add salt to your vegetables, your tastebuds are awakened to the flavors, which, you might have noticed on your first bite, takes a couple seconds to have the flavor really hit. If you need a test (because you don't believe me), eat an m&m or take a bite of fruit or something sweet/not salty. Then put half a pinch of salt on your tongue, swish it around for a second, then take another bite. See the difference?

Because in the canning process a lot of the flavor is lost, and salt helps to accent the remaining flavor back to something interesting.
Best to you.

Because they are all natural (no salt). We don't need the extra salt in our diets. I prefer to put seasoned pepper on my "no salt added" canned veggies just to make them taste better.

Cause salt is a preservative and it adds flavor, that is why people use it when they cook to add or enhance the flavor of the food.

Salt brings out distinct flavors in food. Too much salt, however, is bad for you.

Because salt tastes good.......and it brings out the flavor of your food, not making it so bland.

Because your taste buds are messed up. You can add flavor with lemon juice, other spices, no salt seasonings, etc.
