while you are over here complaining about MSG being in food

Because I am concerned about the whole picture just not half of it. MSG is used to increase food cravings and irresistibility, so you eat more than you should. Linked to headaches, obesity, depression, and mental disorders. It is also an excitotoxin (excites brain cells to death), which is associated with neurodegenerative diseases.

The things it is found in - Frozen meals, chips, dressings, soups, rice and pasta mixes etc are NOT healthy.

There are ramifications from thinking you are eating healthy when reality is totally different. MSG should not be in anything. It has zero value other than trying to turn you into an addict of unhealthy foods.
