Righteous dude, indeed. Ferris, maybe, Obie, not even at 3AM last call (not that I’ve ever been there).
That torture you descrive sounds like about what a three day migraine is like. Had one recently. Trying to remember where I ate. There was cheap wine and salad dressing involved. Oh, yeah, the movie theater. Gave in to temptation of salad (dressing full of MSG) and sulfite-laden wine. Another poison.
I know all the code words for MSG and what to avoid, though I do fall into traps occasionally. Sulfites are nasty. Not an enhancer, like MSG, but a preservatibe, another salt, I think.
Sulfites are an oxidation inhibitor. They block oxygen binding. Very bad for asthmatics and copd sufferers.
