BRAVO, Robin!

     Similar question:  Does anyone know anything about how widespread the
use of Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) REALLY is?
     I've heard it said that restaurants using this must post a notice to
this effect.  I don't know if that's a Federal law or a state law in 
California or elsewhere (or just a bogus rumor).  In any case, I've never
seen such a notice on the menu or in the window or elsewhere at any
restaurant -- including Chinese restaurants, which are allegedly the
biggest users of MSG.  (Anyone know if this is true?)
     Occasionally I ask a server if MSG is used.  They never know.

     Please post responses to net.consumers, as that is the newsgroup I
read (or mail directly to me).   Thank you all.
