smothered in ranch.

Quoting Satan:“ hehehe good thing i like carrots. smothered in ranch.”

The full-fat version of ranch doesn't have as much MSG as the low-fat. So I buy full-fat and then add extra MSG...mmmm,mmmm MSG.

oooh, MSG gives me migraines as well. I hadn't gotten a migraine in a while, then I went to eat at a steak restaurant, and I was sitting there eating that steak raving about how good it tasted. It was sooooo nice and salty...and one hour later after leaving the restaurant I was laying in bed holding my head.

hmm I don't think MSG causes mine....I just don't want to chance it.

I have been getting them regularly since i was 8.


I don't think i even HAD msg as a kid....I grew up on a farm

Popcorn gives me migraines. Does that stuff have MSG in it? I can't even smell the stuff without getting nauseated and feeling like my head is about to concave.

I used to love eating those Baked Lays chips... turns out, smothered in MSG -_-"

I don't know, but a lot of "seasoning salts" have it, so it may.

Anything w/a large amount of dehydrated onion gives me migraines .  

Isn't MSG the stuff that helps with jellyfish stings?

I swear to God that's what my dad used to call it and it actually worked...

Butttt.... I could be wrong. Sorry, just some random thing that kept popping in my head. He used to get it mildly wet and put it where the sting was and it stop hurting... hmmm... I could be wrong....

balsamic vinegar.

way good for jellyfish stings.

*Sigh*

This thread was depressing for me.

I'm a fast food junkie. I would LOVE to be able to change and eat healthier foods, but convenience always gets the best of me.

As far as whether or not fast foods should be allowed to sell those things. I think they absolutely have every right to sell whatever they want. If people don't like it, they need to exercise self control.

i swear it feels like a conspiracy sometimes.

i stood in safeway today looking for breakfast food (you know, toast bread, english muffins, bagels-- not a single loaf or muffin in sight w/out monoglycerides (chemical preservative).

i feel you... it's really damned frustrating-- especially when so many foods are tasty and have positive memories associated w/ them.

i'm just trying to hold myself to a higher standard these days -- i'm almost thirty and i've decided i want to live till i'm 120, which means i've got to start taking preventative measures now.
