This sounds like there's a lot of MSG which may be a neurotoxin.


1. They don't use MSG.
2. MSG is not a neurotoxin.

Hmmm. Don't kid yourself, they still are. By that I just mean they are the 3 most elite and most rigorous. No other schools so are in the same league (however much GDs likes to protest otherwise). I do have a kid at one of these three but others at other privates too. Those 3 really are the best of the private schools in Washington.

1. They probably use spices and things that actually contain MSG but don't list it as MSG.
2. Okay. Whatever you say. Not my kids' brains.

So what would you suggest would be better?

If you read the link from earlier, they actually mention that they don't use MSG. But your assertion that they're probably too stupid or careless to notice it as an ingredient sounds legit! Let's go with that. This is a fun discussion!

DD loved the food at St. Andrew's when she visited there this year, and she is a very fussy eater.
