Not Eating MSG = Racism

Yes.

Rosie O'Donnell has issued a statement.

lol.

Miss Gorightry! This time, I’m a-warning yuuu! I am definitely this time going to calling the police!

I'm a cunt!

I love throwing a punch of msg into sauces or soups . It seems to punch up the other flavors while reducing the need for salt.

Love it, use it several times a week.

Agree with adding it to stocks. I have made chicken “bone broth” from a roasted chicken carcass including the browned skin, roasted vegetables and fried mirepoix, and even then the batch I made with 1/4 teaspoon MSG was several times better than the one without.

I read that the claim that it was bad was entirely fabricated and at least one goal of the botched studies was harming Chinese restaurants by making them unattractive for westerners. So yes, racism. Of course someone who doesn't like it or just doesn't eat it isn't racist.

Sounds like sum ting wong, R8.

I know a woman who swears it gives her migraine headaches and another who says it makes her retain water. I don't know how they could pin down the cause and effect with such precision, so maybe they're just assuming a connection. I like it -- heightens flavor without using salt.

Not wanting to eat Chinese food because of MSG isn’t racist.

Now, not wanting to eat Chinese food because it’s made of bats and dogs? POSSIBLY racist…

I knew a woman went into a Chinese restaurant and never come out. Who knows, maybe they took her off in a boat or somethin'!

That’s not racist R11.

Mother Harper - did you ever notice you never see Chinese people's obituaries in the newspaper?

Being racist apparently gives me a headache. Can I be woke and use AH-SO sauce?

But wouldn't consuming and enjoying MSG be cultural appropriation?

"To this day, the myth around MSG is ingrained in America's consciousness, with Asian food and culture still receiving unfair blame," said the company in its campaign website. "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome isn't just scientifically false — it's xenophobic."

"Calling it Chinese restaurant syndrome is really ignorant," said restaurateur Eddie Huang, whose memoir was adapted into the hit sitcom "Fresh Off the Boat." In the video, he pointed out that MSG is not only delicious -- but found in practically all processed foods, from ranch dressing to Doritos.

So, once again a headline on DL is false, allowing the true racists, such as R4 to display what he thinks is clever, but just makes him sad..

R17 has comprehension issues. Not eating MSG with the belief that it makes you sick = Chinese restaurant syndrome = racism.

Oh yeah I've known about this canard for ages I use MSG all the time.

I grew up eating MSG in my food, and now I am gay. Think of the children!

Even Asian avoid MSG now. It is too unhealthy.

I use Aji No Moto (msg) all the time I’m half Peruvian and everyone uses it there. It’s good on all sorts of things. I always thought the anti MSG thing was complete bullshit. Goya sells something called Sazon in packets which is MSG .

Not eating bats from wet market = Racism!

MSG is still sodium, you edematous fat whores.

^^The sodium problem is more from common salt than anything. And the addition of other sodium compounds by companies to common salt to increases their pourability since sodium chloride is hygroscopic.

Not wanting to eat Chinese food because you're avoiding MSG is not inherently racist, if you're avoiding MSG in all foods. However, if you're proclaiming "No Chinese food! Too much MSG!" while chowing down on processed foods filled with MSG, it's pretty racist. People will take any opportunity to side-eye and talk shit about ethnic restaurants.

I agree. The MSG hysteria needs to stop. You should check the level of glutamate (chemically identical to MSG once dissolved) in tomatoes, cheese, human breast milk etc

R27 not to mention the fuckers who moan about MSG in Chinese food causing them ill health and side effects experience no symptoms eating canned soups (Campbell’s and other brands). Campbell’s made a big deal for marketing purposes, in removing MSG from their soups in recent years.

History of MSG seasoning. The process of fermentation in producing MSG is similar to how yogurt or wine is made.

I think we should ban oriental food from this country.

Whiter than snow Eastern Europeans love MSG but are ashamed to admit they use it. I used to use it...makes everything taste better unless you have the endless patience to peel a ton of root veggies and chop them and cook bones, chop onions, fry them...the works. It's hours of work in a teaspoon but it is so much worse for you than making things from scratch.

This article inspired me to go to the Asian market and get some of that umami bomb salt. It is made from salt, MSG, and a touch each of disodium inosinate and disodium guanylate. There are ridiculous people selling small bottles of this salt online for over $30, claiming it's some sort of precious miracle. It is not a miracle substance; it merely makes savory foods taste more savory; and versions of this umami bomb are in all manner of processed foods these days. My Korean-made bag o'salt cost $2.29 for a pound.

A little science for you gurls...

adding MTG to Congress is racist.

How about a typing lesson for you first, R33?

Accent seasoning, an ingredient in Ann Landers’s famous meatloaf, is pure MSG.
