Why do people insist on eating food without msg?
Many people, myself included, have various reactions to MSG in their systems. It can cause increased blood pressure, migraines, heart-attack like symptoms, and extreme water retention. These side effects are a reaction to the chemicals found in MSG. Although there are a number of people who are immune to these physical changes from consuming MSG, many are sensitive to them, and therefore find that it is better to request foods that do not have MSG in them. This is why many Chinese food establishments now carry signs that declare their food MSG-Free (since Americanized Chinese food is one of the big culprits of using this additive).

Does msg prevent dogs from eating feces?
Do not use MSG! It can harm the dog. Use meat tenderizer sprinkled on the feces.
But use meat tenderizer that doesn't have MSG! You might have to read between the lines as MSG is called by other names. Find one that is based on enzymes, such as papaya or pineapple.
You can also retrain your dog. Take them out on a leash and don't let them eat feces. Distract them with a treat away from it and get it picked up immediately. After time the dog will look to you for the treat and ignore the feces. But still you will need to clean it up ASAP which is always a good practice.

BVO is brominated vegetable oil. It is a synthetic chemical that is created when vegetable oil is bonded to the element bromine. Because bromine is heavy, it acts as an emulsifier and keeps the oil in water-based solutions from separating and floating to the top.
Foods that contain BVOs are: some citrus flavored soft drinks like Mountain Dew, Squirt, Fresca, and Fanta, sports drinks like Powerade, and some pre-mixed cocktails.
