    They don’t mix in nicotine, no need for all of that when MSG exists. They do mix in MSG to the meats and cheeses. Pretty much all fast food does, because it makes it addictive, and tasty.

      When I was a kid, I don’t think I knew what MSG was, so this reasoning would have been lost on me.

        When I was a kid the racist “MSG in Chinese food” panic was happening. I knew about Chinese salt when I started cooking around 6 or 7

          Having a reaction to a food additive is not racist. You are parroting the bots spread forth by a $7B industry. MSG reaction is real. Do we call people who get food allergies racist?

            Yet, everyone I know that had so called reactions to MSG in Chinese food could eat Pizza Hut and McDonald’s which both use MSG and they never had a ‘reaction.’

            They also haven’t complained about MSG since the late '80s. There may be some people that have an actual allergy to MSG, but I have yet to meet one, and I have a much higher sampling of people to pull from than most.
