[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Racism, ignorance, and general stupidity. [b]MSG is great and it is not bad for you[/b][/quote] Back in the 70s and 80s though there was a lot of general hysteria about MSG. You can see remnants of that here on the board with some of the responses. There is no reputable source that says that MSG is unhealthy. There is a lot of speculation that the reaction to MSG comes from racism against the Asian cultures and cuisines, which was endemic in the 70s and 80s, and is still prevalent today. MSG naturally occurs in many foods. Ever eat a tomato? Naturally occurring MSG. What about cheese? Naturally occurring MSG, too. [/quote]
