MSG little do we know..

After reading this article in Hyphen.. i found it pretty damn amazing at the fact that the majority of people think that MSG is only associated with asian food. i am guilty as charged because honestly thqat is what i though before reading this article in Hyphen. i could not believe that MSG is in soooo many foods americans eat like KFC and pizza.

unbelievable. why doesnt the media say all of this? beats me. just like the media always wants to stick to damn stereotypes. no wonder KFC is so delicious? in this article i learned that MSG did not originate in china and it ws actually influenced by the German way of developing a low cost/mass producible form of nutrition. in 1908 a japanese chemist was able to isolate something called glutamate. i learned that large amounts of glutamate occur naturally in some food and that there are high quantities of glutamates in parmesan cheese. !!

one more thing i couldnt believe... MSG was added as an ingredient in majority of AMERICAN cookbooks!!

pshhhhh... another thing americans should realize before they start talking shit about asians right?
