“MSG has been used for more than 100 years to season food. During this period, extensive studies were conducted to elucidate the role, benefits and safety of MSG. At this point, International and national bodies for the safety of food additives consider MSG safe for human consumption as a flavor enhancer. The “MSG symptom complex” was originally termed as the “Chinese restaurant syndrome” when anecdotally Robert Ho Man Kwok reported the symptoms he felt after an American-Chinese meal. Kwok suggested multiple reasons behind the symptoms, including alcohol from cooking with wine, the sodium content, or the MSG seasoning. But MSG became the focus and the symptoms have been associated with MSG ever since. The effect of wine or salt content was never studied.”
Anyone who hates MSG is a racist and an enemy of savory. Never to be trusted. (via rgr-pop)

if you’re gonna say something’s “gross” or “disgusting” or similar can you please please please think about what you’re reinforcing when you say that
I’m especially talking about poor people food, food from cultures outside the Anglosphere or Western Europe, and things to do with children and pregnancy and motherhood
saying those things are “foul” is not just a personal feeling, it’s an attack
Doctors urged to not force-feed detainees
Melbourne asylum seekers engaged in a hunger strike could have just days to live, Australian Medical Association president Steve Hambleton said on Tuesday.
The 28 refugees - given negative security assessments by ASIO - have vowed to refuse food and water until their demands for freedom are met. They began their hunger strike on Monday morning.
”Broadly, one can live without oxygen for four minutes, water for four days and food for four months,” Dr Hambleton said. ”Water’s actually an essential nutrient that very rapidly will render a person very, very unwell … with zero intake. You can become very sick very quickly. It sounds like it’s a silent, extreme desperation.”
Dr Hambleton’s comments came as the AMA announced it would recommend to its members they refuse to force-feed detainees engaged in hunger strikes, under new ethical guidelines.
The AMA’s new position binds doctors to respect the wishes of people who have made an informed and voluntary judgment to refuse food. It argues that under these circumstances, forced feeding of hunger strikers ”is not justifiable”.
