He can't catch a break, can he? He probably said it in anticipation
of the usual cr*p that is flung around here after someone admits using
that kind of product. He uses it, he doesn't care - but he knows
others will make negative comments anyway. Read the Knorr ingredient
list and you tell me what they'd say.

Ingredients: Ingredients: Salt, Monosodium Glutamate, Beef Fat, Sugar,
Corn Starch, Dried Beef Meat, Hydrolyzed Corn Protein, Yeast Extract,
Natural Flavors (Contains Dairy), Caramel Color, Parsley, Onion
Powder, Turmeric, Disodium Inosinate, Citric Acid, Disodium Guanylate,
Spice.
