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.
I didn’t have Chinese food until my wife, then girlfriend, introduced it to me in my twenties. A Chinese restaurant was opened in my small hometown when I was in my teens, but we never partook. I’m not sure why.
I didn’t cook until, again, my teens, but at that point I literally had to ask how to boil water for hot dogs. My family was fairly progressive, so “Chinese salt” never came up, but MSG was definitely beyond me.
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.
When I was a kid, I heard two unsubstantiated rumors about McDonald’s food:
I doubt that either are true, but if the latter were maybe it would answer your question.
