1:50 he's right, MSG is super addicting, and does make you hungry again.

[@simeonkanu4392]

I always put it in me food and still don't get hungry for hours

[@YourIdeologyIsDelusional]

It doesn't make you hungry, it just makes the food taste unnaturally good so you keep wanting more. It actually amplifies the flavor of other spices on your tongue, including regular old salt, and so does the various cooking oils on food. Oils cause spices and other flavors to make better contact with your tongue, and MSG then strongly accentuates those flavors. Most fried snacks are covered in it, and they use it the same way asians do. Mix it with some combination of garlic, ginger, onions and assorted spices, and you can't stop eating it because it's just so absurdly savory. If you like fishy tasting stuff, try getting some instant Dashi granules some time, grind them up into a powder, and use it to season potato stuff. Instant Dashi is made from dried fish and seaweed, and has salt and MSG in it. Put it on potatoes and you have a super savory instant fish and chips experience.

His early death is a wake up call for everyone I know, but it is so comforting seeing someone talk about the very few pleasures that sometimes you can have when all else seems to go against you: good food. When I started having whole grain bread replacing white a long time ago, I felt I lost some of the joys in life when making a sandwich. I eat it as well as other healthier options but it feels like living on cruise control. Anyway, RIP JP.
