So, in short, they're heavily allergic to their own thought processing.

Some people do seem to confuse cognitive dissonance with being sick, and not that their fucking pathetic understanding of the world has just been challenged.

Well, let's be fair. That is just a different kind of Sickness. Kind of a difficult sense that I distinctly remember bashing my head to a couple decades ago, being so Disturbed.

Gotta go hear that, again, NOW.

Kind of depends on how much hair you've grown. Or, at least, how you bang your head, I suppose.

Another personal anecdote from a non-American: My parents never buy MSG. When I did, they freaked out a little then I have to explain it's not bad other than another source of sodium we need to watch. I need to point out that all of our staple liquid seasonings are filled with added MSG: soy sauce, vinegar, patis.

Despite being Asian, this happened because my shitass country often rely on shitass recommendations from the US health department. Another example is the ban on magic sugar, which is also propaganda by US sugar manufacurers.

Cyclamate, which turns out to be not really that much carcinogenic, but still banned in the US.

What is MSG made from? Could it be that they're allergic to the base and that there is a threshold? I hope to fuck you aren't a scientist and you are an amazingly shitty person.

You are being really dumb about this. MSG comes from beets or seaweed or other shit. A person might be allergic to beets OR seaweed. I know you think you're being smart about this, but you're not.
