I suspected Kashi was a fraud with their "innocent" "all-American" spokeswoman in their advertisements/commercials. Now my suspicions are confirmed.

I've always wondered how many of these companies which purport to sell nothing but pure organic non-genetically modified foods are in fact selling the same poisonous simulacrum of food that is commonly offered in this vile day & age, just with different packaging & higher prices.

 Let us hope that it isn't that many yet. I make a point of avoiding monosodium glutamate in any quantity, I can tell if I've accidentally ingested it, as it causes an immediate splitting headache, rapid heartbeat & muddled thinking.

So far none of the food that I've eaten that hasn't got it listed on the label, under its proper name, or one of its many aliases such as hydrolyzed yeast extract &c. has caused any of this, so I suppose that there is still good food to be had, tho' for how long, no one knows.

Unfortunately, you cannot tell from the label if something contains GMO.  The majority of the corn grown in the US is now GMO, and corn is used in just about everything, it seems.  

Monsanto is evil.  Even if you have GMO free crops, the GMO ones dominate and will cross pollinate the natural ones. Then everything is tainted and we can never get back to plants that weren't modified.
