That "salt" that I bought to put on my oatmeal the first week...not actually salt. I mean, what else would you expect that's a clear, grainy compound under the sign in the grocery store that says "#$%^&* / Salt & Sugar"? Evidently...MSG. I thought it tasted funny the first time I had it, and haven't put it on since, thinking it was some weird kind of Chinese salt that didn't go with oatmeal. My friend "Chris" saw it today at my desk, and asked why I had it, and then looked at me all yao-ming-big-eyed when I said I liked it on my oatmeal. So I started thinking about it and laughing hysterically to myself that it must not be what I thought it was, and asked my neighbor if it was salt. When he laughed and said no, I made him look it up... Anybody want some:
with their oatmeal?

I once had an inhuman amount of MSG at a suspicious Chinese restaurant in Seward, Alaska. Other than the splitting headaches, I was okay. I'm crossing my fingers for ya. If the IBS crops up, Sam is doing research on that by giving IBS to mice. I'll ask him what to do.
