I went to a baby shower yesterday for Sweet Baby Girl. It was great. She got a lot of nice stuff. We had some snacks and cake. I sure do love cake. It wasn’t even chocolate and I still loved it. I am a sucker for frosting. I ate to much of it, I could feel that thick sugar floating through my veins.
Mommy Antics made some cheese slaw. For those of you that haven’t been blessed with this in your neck of the woods, it looks kind of like cole slaw but it’s actually shredded cheese. For mine, I use shredded swiss cheese, mayo, and a jar of jalapenos (finely chopped). Mix it up and you can add a little jalapeno juice to spice it up. You put it on crackers. It’s really good. I think Mommy may have used cheddar and swiss, mayo and onion. It was good too.
When everyone had their food and starting to eat, one girl asked who made the cheese slaw. When Mommy Antics claimed it, the girl asked her if there was any MSG in it. MSG? Isn’t that the stuff in Chinese food? Can you actually purchase MSG and put it in your food? And if you can, why would you? Isn’t it bad for you? Does it have a taste? Does MSG come in foods we eat every day? Apparently this girl is allergic to MSG and has to ask everywhere she goes. Oh my gosh, that’s like having to ask if there’s any salt in the food you are about to eat. Who knows?!?!?!?! I mean, probably hidden somewhere way down deep there is.
I think if I was allergic to something like MSG, I wouldn’t eat out anywhere. I would just stay home and cook my own MSG free food. This stuff could be anywhere at anytime and you would never know it. Heck, the people making the food probably don’t even know if it’s there. MSG should be banned in the United States.
OK, I’ve done a little research and this stuff IS like salt. And it IS in everything!!! It’s like a dang substitute for salt or something!!!! Be careful and make sure you aren’t allergic to this MSG. Heck, you could be eating it and not even know it. Then what?!?!?! You are sick and you don’t know why. You haven’t eaten any Chinese food, but that doesn’t matter, because it’s in everything. Remember all those chips you ate at the Mexican restaurant the other night? Bingo. MSG. Remember the wings you ate watching the big game the other night? More MSG. It’s in the sauce!!!
I wish I was still in the dark about this one. Now I’m going to have to do more extensive research to determine if this is affecting me!!!

Maybe that's why you have ADD!! I thought it was pretty well banned in the US unless they declared it was in a product.
The same thing with wheat and peanut allergies. Can you even begin to imagine all of the products that contain wheat or peanut products (some that you would never think of). Remember that big scare from the plant in Lynchburg??
I am blessed with no allergies...not pollen, not shellfish, not peanuts, and certainly not MSG (cuz I LOVE me some Chinese food)!
I know right....who would have guessed! Speaking of all those other allergies, Sweet Baby Girl's niece is allergic to just about everything...did you see her with her own little snacks at the shower! How sad she can't even eat CAKE!
