MSG is most likely safe to eat, judging by the copious amount poured into each and every dish ever, in each and every Chinese restaurant that I've been to.
It tasted great when I was only eating in restaurants once in a while. I soon got pretty sick of it after eating out a few times a week for a few months.
There's probably a judicious amount that could enliven a dish without overpowering the food. Alas, the amounts Chinese restaurants are using just make everything taste the same sickeningly savory taste.
