"MSG in Chinese food isn't unhealthy -- you're just racist" 2023 Oct 14
The "whyusemsg.com" website is now defunct, but this article remains a reminder that the malignment of MSG is America and the west stemmed not from science, but from racism against Asians and Chinese in particular, viewing Chinese restaurants as dirty places that were unconcerned for the cleanliness of their food. Quoth the article: "'Calling it Chinese restaurant syndrome is really ignorant,' said restaurateur Eddie Huang ... he pointed out that MSG is not only delicious – but found in practically all processed foods, from ranch dressing to Doritos." Moral of the story: stop shunning MSG.
