your regular reminder from the Kitchen Squad that anybody who complains about MSG in food is, in fact, being a huge fucking racist
one more time for the folks in the back: there has never been a single credible medical study that suggests "MSG allergy" is a thing that exists. people have been researching this for decades and every double-blind placebo test has shown it to be complete bunkum.
there are still 'doctors' out there who refer to this as 'chinese restaurant syndrome' and that alone should tell you fucking everything you need to know
@hystericempress I confess I still recoil from most products that are full of MSG, but mostly due to "YIKES, that's a lot of sodium." It's also an irrational revulsion that's kept me from eating a lot of crappy processed food over the years... But yeah, the research is damn solid-looking and the racist component of CRS is especially infuriating.
@hystericempress (Oops, sorry, you addressed that already! I was indeed in the back, timeline-wise. :D )
@zebratron2084 nah, it's good. like, Obviously Don't Consume A Shitload Of Sodium, that's common sense, but MSG isn't magically a more EVIL sodium.
