Love it.

This!

Its taboo here in #Australia, educated white women react to hearing you've eaten it like you just confessed to licking lead paint.

But other than for the few people with a genuine allergic sensitivity, its just a harmless naturally occuring amino acid in its sodium-salt form. If you dried out some of your own blood plasma you'd find quite a bit.

And it tastes really good in Sichuan Chinese cuisine. Really good. Yum, now I want some!
