Denmark Bans Marmite, Vegemite: 'Too Many Vitamins'

Here is a legitimate thing to ban, sardine surprise.

Bah im danish and this article is full of it! We eat so much foreign food we allmost dont have a national eating. And btw we ban alot of things long before EU takes its god damn tme to do the same. Like plastic softernes in kids toys called "talader" here. It was a-ok in EU when we did it though our research showed it could give cancer. And YankeeJim.... our nr1 export is livestock.... and turkey is not one of them.

There has been government laboratory testing done in many countries on MSG and free glutamates going back to the early 70's. Of all the things MSG is purported to cause, very little to date has been substantiated in the lab with human subjects [actually, those test subjects who thought they were eating something with MSG as an ingredient, but had the placebo, had more negative responses than those who consumed the MSG]. While there is some legitimate concern coming from high dose animal testings, much of the negativity is being sponsored by the "health foods" people, who refer to MSG as an "unnatural ingredient".

Personally, IMHO any food that required MSG to taste good ought not to be eaten in the first place. Food either taste good or it doesn't. Having to make it taste good is a bit too much of a way to get people to eat crap for my liking and I try not to buy anything that needs it's flavor "enhanced".

We danish tend to ban things even if its only dangeours in theory. We do that so its not to late when someone alot later says it IS dangeours and then people can only say "ohh damn....i guess i shouldnt have eaten it then......." And people in the old days lived well enough without tons of chemicals to stuff in the face....
