Here's A Surprise: You Shouldn't Be Afraid of MSG

Some people are sensitive to MSG. It will give me a headache and my dad a migraine headache.

"MSG is a convenient, and culturally loaded, scapegoat for overindulgence, and a distraction from the real problem: the food system we’ve built to make it easier to produce and consume so many calories that lack everything but flavor."

-- Great article.

I once saw a guy reading the back of a frozen orange chicken bag while doing a roman salute.

I dunno, I keep putting MSG in my cooking, and I can't tell that it's any better.

I am also sensitive to MSG. That does not mean I am anti-MSG. It's just something I developed a sensitivity to and need to avoid. People can be sensitive to all kinds of foods, so there's no reason for the general population to avoid it because of a small group. That being said, the only reason I even considered it as something that I could be sensitive to was because I saw a news article about it when I first developed the intolerance. I was really sick for a month, saw the article, looked in my cupboard and saw that almost everything in there had MSG. And about a day after cutting it out of my diet, I was already feeling better.
