Is it Ethical and Moral to use Monosodium Glutamate?

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the controversial use of MSG that began in the 1970s, and takes a philosophical approach as to whether or not it's use is ethical.

From the paper:

"According to Kant, being a rationalist, the utilitarian point of view being used is very wrong. The FDA has a duty to society to protect them from substances like MSG. Using the utilitarian perspective in this case seems very egoistic and selfish; if MSG went off the market, food sales would take a drop, many companies would have to come up with different products that would sell without containing MSG."
