Why MSG is bad for you

There is this store in Springfield called East East. It has all sorts of weird food from China and those places over there. We just went there yesterday and got some rice noodles and some kind of candy that has two wrappers. The first one it just like any other candy wrapper, and the second was made from rice paper and you could eat it! They tasted sorta like Fruit Loops. You know, that cereal that has a bunch of food coloring in it and stuff. Oh hey speaking of un-healthy eating… Did you know that MSG (Mono-sodium glutamate) just makes food taste more like what it already tastes like? So if you took a strawberry and sprinkled MSG on it, it would have more flavor. Did you know that MSG also kills your brain cells by overexciting them to death? Here is what the dictionary says about MSG:

Condiment and flavor enhancer: the crystalline sodium salt of glutamic acid, used in cooking primarily to enhance the flavor of food.

Some people are sensitive to it and react with headaches or vomiting.


Wow. Now you know more than you did two minutes ago. Congratulations, you are learning without really realizing it. Mom, you can count that as school.

I am one of those that can't handle much MSG, of suflites in my food or drinks. I once went to a Chinese Buffet, and within just a couple of minutes I had to go throw-up, and had a splitting headache for hours and hours!!
