re is msg sensitivity superstition in article apr rtsg mot com lundby rtsg mot com walter f lundby writes as nobody in the food industry has even bothered to address my previous question why do you need to put msg in almost every food i must assume that my wife s answer is closer to the truth than i hoped it was i don t mean to be disrespectful to your concerns but it seems to me that you re getting all wound up in a non issue as many knowledgeable people have pointed out msg is a naturally occurring substance in a lot if not most foods when food manufacturers add it to a preparation they do so because it s a known flavor enhancer your wife s theory that msg is added to food to stimulate appetite may well be true but i don t believe it s always the reason it s added people are largely for the most part in charge of their own appetites children s and my parent s seem to fixate on a particular brand of pet food the cat will eat any product within one brand and not any other brand i have wondered if this is not a case of preference but some sort of chemical training or addiction my questions for the net are does the fda regulate the contents of pet food is it allowed for pet food to contain addictive or conditioning substances is msg put in pet food you don t know much about cats do you cats will take advantage of you resign yourself you will never understand a cat their tastes are whimsical i also suspect though it s been a while since i ve checked ingredients on commercial cat food that there are much more stringent requirements on pet food additives than human see the fda has this stupid idea that human beings have the intelligence to look out after their own interests barbara wondering how her cat would take care of her
