In doing some reading about the length and arc of recovery from moral/societal panics, it actually surprised me (though perhaps it should not have) how many people are still all-in on the MSG scare. What a remarkably terrible culinary existence that must be.

I remember how that was a whole thing from chinese food places would proudly advertise 'No MSG!' and people around me kept saying 'well if I have it I get a headache, so I'm really glad' and even then I couldn't help but notice that's such a self fulfilling psychosomatic symptom.
