Effects in Videos

[absolutedestiny]

Special effects in videos are like MSG - totally useless unless there's a good flavour there to begin with.

However much I like a lot of glutimate in my food I wouldnt eat a plate of MSG. Give me a bag of MSG-loaded cheetos, however, and that bag wont last ten minutes.

Oh and like MSG some people have a problem with effects. Their loss, as it's not actually allergenic :)

Also, I got to a point in my video yesterday when I realised "God that is so great... you can't get any better than that". Unfortunately this moment is at the halfway point of my video. Hmmm... I'll just have to hope for another awesome moment like that one otherwise it's downlhill from there.

Actually my mother is allergic to MSG - she can't eat anything with it or she her... lower digestive tract gets very upset. She has to avoid all foods with it, which can be very tough considering that in the US if something in the ingredients claims to have "Natural Flavors" that could mean MSG.

But nice analogy =)

Can she eat tomatoes? Mushrooms? They contain MSG naturally and there's no difference between "natural" and artificial MSG. Saying "artificial" msg is like saying artificial salt. While I don't doubt that she has digestive problems there have been no tests which have proven MSG to be allergenic.

"Numerous studies have examined whether MSG in foods triggers allergic reactions. In 1991, the American College of Allergy and Immunology issued a position paper on the issue. The document concluded that MSG is not an allergen and that severe reactions have nothing to do with this ingredient. FASEB's August 1995 report also stated that MSG is not an allergen."
