1. Actually, Dick Gregory talked about this in the 70's
I saw him at an appearance at Kent State and he said our meat is now being made by Monsanto.

It might not be so far fetched. :)

3. Ironically the "triple msg" is the only part of the meal that's natural
MSG isn't all that bad unless you eat pounds of it.

6. try living with allergies to msg
This shit causes severe migraines in several family members. So bad, in fact, that trips to the ER was involved.

It's FAR from harmless.

10. Sorry, obviously it's bad if you're allergic to it.
Moderation otherwise, just like salt.

13. for some even moderation can mean a trip to the ER
Considering that the prepackaged food industry HIDES this stuff with at least 8 known names - moderation is not the problem.

15. I have had tunnel vision
and had a funny white noise sound in my ears after eating MSG. It really affects me so restaurants and food manufacturers need to be scrupulously honest about MSG.

I know it's just a salt to some people, but we have to wonder what kind of chemical reaction is going on. MSG works by sending a chemical message to the brain (and it's a very short path from the tongue to the brain) that the food you're eating tastes very good. That can't be a good thing.

4. Question:
After eating one of these and you go to a friend's house and shit in his toilet, will Monsanto sue your friend for using their product without paying for it?

16. Reminds me of my coffee break
A guy at work reached for the coffee creamer today and said, "Excuse me, I need some of this partially-hydrogenated, genetically-modified soybean and high-fructose corn syrup for my coffee, please."

:puke:

20. Ever sprinkle the stuff over
an open flame?

:nuke: :scared:

I used to use it but when I saw what happened...no more!
Of course, I saw some survival guy light a fire with old Frito's so I aint sure about those either!
