I'm not worried about harm, more about cooking from real food. I don't get
any cooking pleasure out of putting a TV dinner in the microwave or ordering
food from a menu. Similarly I don't want to put a manufactured "make food
taste good" pixie dust on my meals, and pat myself on the shoulder. But as I
said, if it was a sauce that was traditionally used I guess I wouldn't be
thinking twice.
