I /we eat very little processed or prepared foods for a good reason. I'm lucky enough (that isn't the right phrase, but fuck it) to be allergic to any forms of flavor enhancers - especially MSG, so this really doesn't effect me nearly as much as it might you. There are a few items they list that we do eat on an irregular basis, but enough about me. It is kinda curious how our government - our own FDA - allows companies to put so much bullshit in the foods we buy and consume on an almost daily basis.

My dad lived to 98, and believe me, he was not a happy camper the last few years. I have no intention of living beyond what I'm reasonably allotted.
