Sheldon:

I'm saying that US Chinese restaurants use WAY too much MSG and that it
is NOT a common ingredient in food in China. The Chinese are noted for
highly-spiced meats cooked wok-style in their dishes. This does not
actively include MSG.

There ARE folks that are allergic to MSG. Whether it is 1% or 2% is not
relevant. There ARE SOME PEOPLE that ARE allergic.
