ACTION ALERT ON MSG

Dear Members,

I realize that just a couple of days ago, we asked all of you to make phone
calls and write emails in support of SB 201, the Fresh Raw Milk Act of 2008. We
are reluctant to send another action alert so soon after our request for action
on SB 201, but the comment period on the MSG petition described below closes
June 23rd. So this weekend, while no one is answering the phone in California,
please submit a short comment on the excellent petition to remove MSG from the
food supply, prepared by John Erb. Details are given in his letter to Weston A.
Price members below. (Then on Monday and Tuesday of next week, back to your
emails and phone calls on SB 201!!)

Thank you!
Sally Fallon, President

PETITION TO REMOVE MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE FROM THE FOOD SUPPLY BEFORE THE FDA

To the members of Weston A Price Foundation:

After decades of concern about the safety of the food additive MSG in food, and
mounting evidence about the adverse reactions many people have to it, the FDA
has accepted a petition to remove monosodium glutamate from the GRAS (generally
regarded as safe) list of ingredients. This action would stop hundreds of food
manufacturers, from Campbell's to Heinz, and thousands of restaurants, from
Kentucky Fired Chicken to Applebees, from using this additive.

Since 1950, food manufacturers and restaurants have discovered that adding MSG
to food makes people eat more of it, and eat more quickly. MSG is addictive,
like nicotine for food.

If you are one of the millions who have suffered reactions to MSG, from asthma
to migraines, please take this opportunity to send your comments to the FDA.

The petition itself is available to be read at the website:

7-P-0178

To comment, simply click on the orange thought bubble beside the Petition
written by John Erb.

Fill out the fields on the electronic form, and include your comments supporting
the petition. Be sure to mention any problems you or your family members have
had with the additive Monosodium Glutamate.

To have a better idea of the damage that MSG can cause, please feel free to
review the text of the Petition, which shows how MSG has been purposely used to
create obese and diabetic test subjects for experiments, and how MSG can be
linked to the triggering of abnormal brain growth leading to autism. By
clicking on the HTML or PDF icon you can review the petition itself.

By adding your voice to this petition you can help end the poisoning we all
have suffered from this toxic ingredient.

Together we can make a lasting change towards putting our health before the
profit margin of the corporations.

Unfortunately, the FDA has only opened public comment on this petition for a
very brief period. The comment period closes on June 23rd, so please act
quickly to make your voice be heard.
