How did people away from the sea get iodine throughout history?

Or eat things besides McDonald's chicken nugget value meal.
Leaves money for a caramel sundae or a small caramel frappe!

It was a fix for goiters in a significant portion of the country. Adding iodine in the diet fixed the issue.

They got it to some extent from the soil via meat, dairy products, and vegetables. Many did not get enough anyway (especially in places with low iodine content in the soil) and got goiter. Some cultures found ways to treat goiter to various degrees of success. But they also pretty much all lived shorter lives in general.
Iodine deficiency still exists today and affects a lot of people. It’s just mostly limited to landlocked, poor/developing countries.

Yeah I know, I guess I was looking for a more medical explanation, like what exactly is swelling there, and why?

goitre, or goiter, is a swelling in the neck resulting from an enlarged thyroid gland
