Why won't the FDA ban MSG in our food?!
I am not an organic food freak -- I eat just about anything -- but I refuse to buy products that include Monosodium Glutamate. It's everywhere. Look for it and don't buy it!
Answers: I know -- M-O-N-E-Y! So can we consumers -- the suppliers of that money -- please start telling foodmakers like Campbell's Soup, Ramen Noodles, cracker companies, condiment makers, and on and on...to stop putting the very unnecessary and harmful MSG into their foods? Enough already!

I agree with the ban. Search online for "Food Additives Cause Cancer" and have a look it's not just MSG we need to be concerned about .. for those of you who don't care .. you should and if its not cancer you have ... ask yourself are you healthy ?
That's your choice. Don't force it on others. People need to quit with the banning.
you answered yourself. I don't even know where to start but I agree we don't need all these additives. The only reason they are there is to make the product last longer on the shelf.
There are many cuisines that use MSG. When you read MSG on the label and you don't want to have it then don't buy it. It is your choice. Surely you don't wish to deprive others of their choice, or do you?
As to your last sentence. I will buy whatever I chose to buy and that is my business and no one elses.
Avoid eating what you want to.Others don't feel the same.
If we all paid attention to what is advertized as being good or bad for us,I'm afraid we'd be down to not eating or drinking much of anything.
One week it's don't drink coffee,the next it's fine
Don't drink wine and then it's ok to do so.
Don't eat fat and then you need so much in your diet.
Just an example of what you read and see.I feel that anything in moderation is fine.MSG has been in food products for years.I don't think it's been the cause of anyone leaving this world yet.However,I could be wrong.
m.s.g or mono sodium glutamate is a naturally occurring substance normally found in seaweed the Chinese/Japanese use this in their cuisine a lot it is a taste enhancer but often it is used by company,s to make their products cheaper to produce think for a moment if it lets you use less of the more expensive ingredient then you make more cash .
but used as it is intended to be used then this should be OK and no need to ban it as you say it is indeed up to the consumer. but if folk buy they unlike you must like having foods that are so lacking in the more expensive and natural ingredient then what do you expect you can not force people to have the same opinion as yourself can you . and would you relay want to so its up to the consumer to vote with their feet or as in this case their wallets as for laws over in the states sorry do not know what they are as i am English . but do we relay need laws to ban stuff as do you not think the best type of ban is by the public not buying this product
That's true but no matter what we do it's everywhere. We need food to survive. It's just a matter of personal choice whether we want to buy these foods with harmful additives or not. Not everyone can afford to buy healthy, organic foods either. We're stuck! :(
