The stigma surrounding MSG is part of the broader anti-Asian sentiment that's been carefully cultivated in the U.S. In order for us to dismantle it, we have to take it apart and analyze all the cogs and wheels that have kept it running. That's why I appreciate today's analysis from Andrew.

Take Action

• Consult the “Know MSG” campaign, which aims to demystify and debunk myths about the common seasoning. Learn about the large variety of non-Asian foods that contain MSG.
• Buy or download “Chinese Protest Recipes” to learn Chinese recipes including some using MSG. All proceeds benefit Color for Change.
