It's pretty much just salt, but tastier.

The only reason I don't use it is that it's kinda like cheating; but there's absolutely nothing wrong with it

If you have arthritis it will kill you.

I use it in everything, especially chili and Southern fried wings.
I don't care if it's cheating, food tastes better with it, it's as simple as that.

God I hate people who flip out over that shit. My mother acts that way with high fructose corn syrup, it's fine and all to lower the sugar intake but it's not gonna kill ya if it's in your damn ketchup.

I work at a chinese restaurant and this lady ordered all her food with "no msg." I have no idea if they actually use the shit in the kitchen but I didn't write it down because I'm not usually supposed to be taking orders and don't give a shit.

It's more like salt, in that it doesn't have it's own real flavor but rather brings out the flavors of the foods you put it on
