"One way to avoid MSG is to make your own chinese food."

...or, ask them to put a lot of carrots in it.

MSG does a lot more than just harm your eyesight (if it does that). There are many many reactions people have to it. Headache is a common one, as is heart arrythmias & facial swelling. I have read that as much as 30% of the population may have allergic reactions, but most don't know what is causing their strange reactions.
