Watch this registered dietitian de-bunk MSG (monosodium glutamate) on TV.

My info is always based on nutrition science 🍉🧬. Science is fact, and facts don’t care about your feelings 🤷🏻♀️
.
Note: I know I will still get comments/haters saying I’m wrong and they have poor symptoms after eating at said Chinese restaurants. PLS check your own racial bias. AND, read up on TYRAMINE INTOLERANCE. There is evidence for that and it’s often confused with “MSG allergy.”

Always a pleasure working with the amazing Annette Hamm on my Hamilton home station 🫶🏼!

Have you tried Buddhist Cuisine?
.
Buddhist cuisine is always vegetarian. Long before plant-based eating became trendy amongst westerners, Buddhists have been eating this way for CENTURIES.
.
Seitan (wheat gluten), bean curd (aka tofu), animal protein made from mushrooms and other vegan ingredients came from Buddhist monks. Yes… commercial vegan meat brands got their product ideas here 😏.
.
My Mom called this cuisine “jai.” I’m a Canto CBC 🇨🇦🙋🏻♀️!
.
I LOVE IT. I ate this sometimes growing up, so it reminds me of my childhood.
.
Thank you to Chùa Huong Dam Temple and the Nguyen Family for this meal 🙏🏼
