Sorry guys.. but I'm going to rant to you about this. I was looking through my pantry today and well, it angered me. A lot.

So as some may know, I am indeed a vegetarian. Becoming a vegetarian is a live choice, and unfortunately.. I can't ever go back.
After becoming a veg, I lost a lot of weight, had slight anemic problems, and protein/amino acid deficiencies. I'm not here to explain why I'm a vegetarian, that's for another time.. however when I went on a Europe trip a year ago, I ate meat. When I came home I became very ill and to be honest, the meat tasted like what it is. Dead animal. None of it tasted good anymore.

So now to my point. I've been getting really sick lately.. and it's hard for me to go to the doctor (health insurance is government provided) and when I finally did go I explained my symptoms and we narrowed it down to a few things.
One of them being an allergic reaction to a flavoring component in many foods; monosodium glutamate. So I think, great, found the problem lets get rid of the MSG foods I eat.
Guess what guys.

Next time your eating chips, a snack, making a box product.. check the label. I give you about a 75% chance on one of the ingredients on a main brand food naming down as MSG. I'm 17 and I built up this allergic tendency to this virtually poisonous flavor additive?
When I eat this stuff, I get headaches, stomach cramps, and worse of all. My food does not digest completely.

It is one of the most difficult things to get rid of seeing that my food choices are already small. RAMEN is one of the biggest things in my house and it has MSG.. it's cheap and it tastes great. Can't eat it.
Mac and cheese.
ALL CHIPS.
ANYTHING salt based. MSG comes in a salt-like form so it looks and tastes a bit like salt.
So yeah.. I'm getting kinda mad at companies right now.

Teenagers, don't you ever complain about food!
