Similar to my problem with barbecued pork, I've actually developed a dislike for Chinese food because every time I eat it, I lose control and overeat, making me feel like I could pop. Oh it's a problem. #food

But since Chinese food always leaves you hungry an hour later, it isn't that bad, right?

I'm full for hours after eating Chinese food. I don't know what you're talking about.

Isn't it because of my Flavor enhancing qualities that you love CHinese so much you stuff yourself??

Yes MSG, it could be because of you. I sort of thought Chinese restaurants stopped using MSG, but I'm starting to think I was wrong.

might not be the msg...at least for me. i have the same problem with my home-made chinese, that may have some "naturally occuring msg" from my 24hr simmered chicken stock, but i doubt enough to really make a difference.

i have the same problem with Japanese food....and bbq. now that i think of it, it's probably the sugar. all those foods have large quantities of sugar (or corn syrup), which does crazy things to your brain's "stop eating" receptors.
