Sweetie, I've been feeding dad for a few years now. Even a cheese omelet
may not have been finished by him and it's NOT my cooking. The addition
of just a very light amount of MSG seems to encourage him to finish a
meal.

While MSG is a flavor enhancer and salt is also considered to be one,
the effects are not quite the same.

MSG is not a salt substitute. It tends to enhance food flavor in a
different way. Comparing MSG to salt is about the same as comparing salt
to sugar.

Sugar is a flavor enhancer too sometimes...
