I made these for fun. Your generic slime from your generic RPG

As you all may know, I’m nuts when it comes to avoiding MSG. It’s evil. It really is. Here’s my little bit of proof that it’s evil and/or that since its evil Campbells’s hides it in their foods (or used to before this ad). Or maybe it’s simply proof that they’re a bunch of deceivers.
Campbells has stated (I’ve heard that they have, I can’t say for sure) that they are dedicated to the umami taste and that they’ll never remove MSG from their foods.
I’ve also heard that they hid it. I called to ask if their “healthy low salt” for heart patients and similar has MSG, which I now know it does. I didn’t know what a specific ingredient was and now I know it’s non-pure but strong msg. They denied that there was MSG which they weren’t lying about. It has to be 99.99% pure before they label it. It’s illegal to put 99.99% pure or more MSG in food without labeling it, but if it’s 99.98% pure they can put it in foods and called it “protein powder” or any number of other names.
Sandra (boyfriends mother) showed me the ad below because she knows I avoid MSG. I thanked her for showing me but said they are dedicated to the umami taste and haven’t removed it. (I know they never will).
So I checked their website to see the ingredient list. I didn’t need to though when I came across their page on it.
Sure enough:
bottom of page, see highlighted area above
Who’s to say what a “small amount” is, lol.
Now what is yeast extract and its purpose?:
From wiki: Monosodium glutamate, also known as sodium glutamate and MSG, is a sodium salt of the non-essential amino acid glutamic acid.
Also, it doesn’t show in the picture but if you go to the page you’ll see “Autolyzed yeast extract is also the primary source of monosodium glutamate for the food industry.”
So glutamic acid IS msg. I state this for clarity and also because the image above states that yeast extract contains glutamic acid. they use it FOR the msg. msg is just another name for free glutamic acid.
What I’m mad about is that they lie to people. They put people at high risk of Sudden Arrhytmia Death Syndrome, and for people highly sensitive to me, a “small amount” could be WAY over the limit of 0, lol.
Their ad says “nothing to hide”… what as opposed to their other soup which they do HIDE MSG IN? LOL. They’re basically admitting that they’ve hidden it and then they lie to folk like me.
WHO KNOWS but this might be safe for average people to eat once in a while, but not a large percentage of people with diabetes or any other disease. What if they just have one form of msg instead of 7? They could have the same amount as before. Who knows. I certainly don’t trust them.
The crazy thing is that they are allowed to add what they want but they hide it anyway. They should just be honest. I guess more and more people realize how dangerous it is now. The FDA will even tell you msg is dangerous.
But yeah, they said there’s no msg to me, yet there’s MSG. I asked “what about a lesser form of glutamic acid” (which is the same question, but more specific and harder to avoid since they can say there’s no MSG if it’s not 99.99% pure), so since they couldn’t directly lie to me the woman on the phone kind of avoided my question. I said “well will you answer my question? i could die from arrhythmia if i try it.” she said “yes its safe, eat it” and I said “okay, I will.” but I guess I lied because I didn’t really intend to, I was hoping to call her bluff. Maybe they lie to their customer service reps. If she finds out the truth some day she’s going to hate herself for telling people its OK.
Critical thinking: If you have are discerning you might notice that they can claim they aren’t lying because it says on their website that it does infact have some msg. The problem is that it doesn’t say that on the ad anywhere. Not everyone has access to the internet and what percentage of people will go to the Campbells Select page when they see that ad?
And just for good measure and empathy’s sake, here’s two images from when I was hospitalized due to MSG poisoning.
Lately, I’ve been enjoying the pace at which time passes. I’m getting older and I enjoy it. There’s more freedom in being older. There’s also more responsibility. As I get older, I know kids will take what I do as an example of what is or isn’t okay to do. It happens all the time. I wonder what sort of things my future holds.
Flock is a lot better these days. Last time I used it was over a year ago. I suggest getting it if you spend most of your time online on social websites and if you have your own account on the family computer, or if you have your own computer
I find many weblogs to be very silly. I like when people write about their lives, or any number of other subjects. What bothers me is when every single post is mysterious and doesn’t really say anything. It’s like, “why did you make me read that? I didn’t learn a thing about you except that you are pretentious.” I wonder if we all get like that sometimes… probably. I feel like a person is being cocky by expecting or desiring people to make comments on something that’s not conducive to comments. Maybe that’s where this whole “first!” thing came from - people think to themselves “I want him/her to know I read this but there isn’t anything to respond to, so I’ll write ‘blah was here’ or ‘first!’”. At the same time, however, I can understand not wanting to get too personal. And stop with the billions of inside jokes, or inside anything. Only stop where it’s appropriate. If your blog is just therapy for you, then by all means write whatever you want. If your goal is to please your readers, then stop with the inside stuff.
Michael bought this lamp via ebay. It’s lovely! Don’t you think so? I got the lamp in only 4 days. Good buying experience.

I’ve got lots of time to pray too, so email requests if you want.
I’ve been thinking about life and how we should live it. I want to rely on the bible only as a source of authority on this, but it’s hard not to come across different views. Some say to enjoy life because it’s a gift from God, but take it too far by focusing on riches and end up losing their focus on God. Some say to completely serve God, forsaking everything that is yours or part of you. I think it’s probably somewhere in between. I think we should forsake everything and give it to God, but that God will give us many joys in life if we just obey Him.
Obeying Him, that’s the hard part sometimes. We doubt and question the source of an order we’re given so that we don’t have to do it right away. But honestly, even if you did something that you thought was a command from God, but wasn’t… that wouldn’t matter because God would still make good come of it anyway.
What if something you have was given to you by God, and you lose it? How sad! But as Job experienced, God can make up for that loss (plus some!). Problem is we like what we have now. You know?
It’s difficult to maintain any interest anymore in having a website. My life is an outright bore, so when anything does happen in my life, it’s either bad or neutral. I used to want to have webspace just to keep pictures and such, but I don’t really even care about that anymore either.
I may delete this website and stop subscirbing to dreamhost (which is a great service), or I may not because I don’t know if I’d lost all the good stuff I’ve built up by having the service for this amount of time.
10 dollars a month isn’t so bad.
I wish I could delete my other domain, but I’m pretty sure I have lots of accounts with websites with my email address associated with afaith.com as my sign-up email. I don’t want to try to send a password I forgot to my email address and have it sent to the email address after I don’t have the domain anymore. My email address is pretty common I’d guess.
Whatever though.
We’ll see what happens. I might just blog whenever something happens in my life. That’ll be rare.
Completely off topic: Why’d those noobs have to make Roseanne a drama? I was forced (sorta) to watch Dan have a heart-attack. At least Roseanne took it all back in the last 15 minute of the last episode because she didn’t like the direction the show took either. Why is everyone always giving Roseanne grief? I think she’s beautiful.
Blogs are just so public. I’ve known this for the entire time I’ve been blogging, but it’s bothering me more as I get older. It wouldn’t bother me as much if so much of the internet wasn’t archived. Archiving is great because you can go back later and check out what your family and friends were saying years ago. I think that even if your entries are boring, it still can say a lot about who you were. If I die of my heart disease, I know my younger siblings can go and read my blog entries later on. I have a lot of them backed up, but I won’t give them to everyone I know, hah.
