all you have to do is research. a definition in the dictionary is not proof that a condition exist, it just defines the term or word.

The controversy surrounding the safety of MSG started on 4 April 1968, when Dr. Robert Ho Man Kwok wrote a correspondence letter to the New England Journal of Medicine, coining the term "Chinese restaurant syndrome". In his letter, Kwok suggested several possible causes before he nominated MSG for his symptoms. This letter was initially met with insider satirical responses, often using race as prop for humorous effect, within the medical community. Some claimed that during the discursive uptake in media, the conversations were recontextualized as legitimate while the supposed race-based motivations of the humor were not parsed.

In January 2018, Dr. Howard Steel claimed that it was actually a prank submission by him under a pseudonym. However, it turned out that there was a Dr. Robert Ho Man Kwok who worked at the National Biomedical Research Foundation, both names Steel claimed to have invented. Kwok's children, his colleague at the research foundation, and the son of his boss there confirmed that Dr. Robert Ho Man Kwok, who had died in 2014, wrote this letter. After hearing about Kwok's family, Steel's daughter Anna came to believe that the admission that the letter was a prank was itself one of the last pranks by her late father.

In 2020, Ajinomoto, the leading manufacturer of MSG, launched the #RedefineCRS campaign to combat what it said was the myth that MSG is harmful to people's health. Following the #RedefineCRS campaign, Merriam-Webster announced it will be "reviewing" the term, which was added to the dictionary in 1993.

I am not going to eat bugs yucky or not. I don't care if they are distant cousins of crustaceans.

No thinks go pedal your crap somewhere else.

Yucky is more than enough reason to not eat something. There are people all over the world that think peanut butter is Yucky. yet people in the US love it. But I am not going to force the world to eat peanut butter just because I see nothing wrong with eating it.

Yucky is a perfectly good reason.
