What will it take for people to stop being retarded and stop making MSG into a food boogeyman? If I wasn't in such a hurry I'd just have gone to a different store, but guess I'll just settle for the marked up Accent (they're brilliant for selling their product to morons, by the way).

I don't know of msg is as bad for us as it's been reported to be. I do know that people who say things like you're quoting have no fucking clue what science actually is or how to apply it to their decision making.

So I'm on your side on this. Also the asians aren't all dead so clearly it's not immediately a threat.

Go to the asian market and buy a big fuck off bag of it and never worry about it again.

All of the products I actually purchased have msg in them; in fact a lot of premade seasonings and packaged foods have msg in them but just don't advertise it vividly on the packaging so most people have no clue. They just have alarm bells ringing when they hear "msg."

>>11329777
Yeah, I should just get a big bag and not worry. It's funny because I pretty much never tell anyone I use MSG in my cooking, but if they see it in my cabinet they start complaining.

i bet they sell cigarettes or at least alcohol, i am 100% sure that these have killed way more people than MSG.

You should be quite proud about supporting the use of a dangerous carcinogen because you're too lazy to season food. There's a special place in hell for you and your ilk.

I do season my food though. MSG is one of the many seasonings I use in my cooking. You almost certainly do as well without realizing it. Hope you don't use mushrooms, tomatoes, cheese, seaweed, etc. in any of your meals!

Just sent a link to this post to PETA. Feeding innocent animals MSG necessitates severe punishment.
