Why does Chinese food get the blame for MSG when virtually all American fast food places are loaded with MSG?

Question

C'mon people, read the ingredients! The only way to avoid MSG is to grow the food yourself.

Answer 1

I agree

Answer 2

actually if you go to a real chinese restuarant where everything is authentic... you will find that they don't use msg at all but use regular sea salt.

Answer 3

I think it is because people are already on the mindset that Chinese food is unhealthy, and it is so salty, so everyone blames Chinese food. I think that is a good point though, because all fast food places have it. So let's settle it. Don't go to either of them!
