Answer 5

Yes. It is often called "rice".

Answer 6

Not just Chinese Food, just go to any restaurant. You mostly just get salt and MSG. There's hardly any other flavoring in the soup, since the physical matter in there has been so overcooked that it's just dead food with no taste subtlety remaining at all.

These restaurants have to depend on salt and MSG to make these soups palatable to mainstream consumers. Because of this taste inflation, it affects brain function.

The net result is that you might be fascinated by this, because it's more than just the desensitizing of your taste to the natural flavors and subtleties in organic foods.

The theory is that obliterating the subtleties of taste makes people stupid, and this is quite literally. By impairing the tongue's sensitivity and by taking away the brain's full spectrum of possible sensations and stimulation, you actually impair a person's cognitive function and learning ability. You make them less aware.

So, next time you go to a restaurant, ask for NO MSG!!

Answer 7

Are you talking about MSG?? Lot's of places don't use that anymore. I don't know much about MSG except that it is used to preserve food and such. But it's not good for you.
