I’ve never doubted big money’s power in the appetite industry.. how many chemists can McDonalds afford? How about Kraft?
I think MSG is one of the biggest culprits in problem eating.. Check the ingredients, almost everything that “you can’t just eat one” of has monosodium glutamate in it.. Sausage at McDonalds has MSG, ever had one? how about 2? Anyone use the ranch sauce at Jack in the Box? That has MSG too.. and many more ingredients on both of those menus.
From what I’ve read MSG is present in quite a bunch of places.

MSG is added to many foods, particularly Chinese foods. Be aware that if a restaurant claims that there is no MSG added to the food, but they use soy sauce extensively in their cooking, you will be getting natural MSG that is in the soy sauce and can not be removed. MSG is also naturally present in bean curd typical ingredient in Chinese cooking. Today, more and more, MSG is being added to commercially-processed foods such as canned soups, sauces, luncheon meats, salad dressings, dips canned and frozen meats, foul and fish. It is the main ingredient in a famous brand flavor-enhancer that is shaken on to food to bring out the taste. We have found MSG in hot dogs, bullion cubes, chicken stock, jarred fishes and many, many other foods.
I don’t know the quality of this link.. but I’ve read most of this from other sources as well.
