Make Enriched MSG easier to make.

how about replacing the Anima ingredient with stuff that actually makes sense?

Yeah, see, here's the problem with your whole "making the chemical should make sense" argument: "Sense" is subjective and depends on the inclusive definition of what makes sense. And, according to goonstation, bees turning into hearts makes sense, deep frying something so hard it turns into a manifestation of the very concept of fried foods makes sense, zombies make sense, sentient monkeys make sense, altering genes in a way that grants telekinetic powers makes sense...

So why doesn't performing ancient alchemical rituals to acquire the best sweetener possible make sense? I mean, if you think about it, the original purpose of alchemy was the use of science powers to turn stuff into other, better stuff, so even in THAT context, it makes sense.
