  It’s psychosomatic. MSG is also in tomatoes, mushrooms, and tons of salted snacks such as Doritos. None of those tend to trigger the symptoms people claim to have after eating Chinese food.

    “Ranch” flavor comes basically 100% from salt and MSG. There is a microscopic amount of herbs that make next to no difference. Ask anyone who thinks MSG is bad for you if they have cut out Ranch dressing for some hilarity. (May not apply to non-Americans).

      Ranch is basically garlic and onion flavor.

      I have a feeling there’s a huge overlap between the people who complain about Chinese food and the people who raved about the Mississippi pot roast (which has two packets of MSG-loaded seasonings in it).

    What do people claim about MSG?

    What isn’t psychosomatic when the target is the average fucking moron?

    … I mean, besides all the things that turn out to be real… but morons will believe anything up to and including their mumbling jibberish is a connection to God with glossolalia…
