I will NOT buy anything with MSG in it & a few times things sneek by me. Noticed that All BBQ potato chips & the dorito flavored chips all have MSG....refused to buy them.....so I found some natural sweet potato chips that are baked......better than all that junk food tasting chips any day.
There are times when I just don't even feel like cooking or eating because of all the junk in the prepared foods & have no energy to prepare foods. Hate making so much with leftovers or freezing either. Haven't come up with any good solutions that work for me. Don't want to gain weight, so not eating sometimes is my options....NOT healthy either.

Speaking of potatoe chips, not to debunk your MSG concerns, either, which for many lead to real health issues, such as major headaches, etc. But something I did, one day, I was looking at a bag of sunchips, and it was proclaiming a certain percentage less in 'fat'. And I wondered what the trade off was? To reduce fat, by I think 6gms, per serving, what was lost was Vitamins, A, C and Potassium. And I opt for regular potatoe chips, just because, I'd rather see the vitamins and minerals, in the diets of my children, although add a little fat and some extra calories. Chips, aren't daily, but reading labels, somewhere, due to work, became a part of my life. No Calories? Check the sodium count, and you'll know right away, if it's an artificial chemical or not.
I keep bread and peanut butter, for those bored with the food supply days. As to not starve out my body.
