What obsession does your country's/region's fast food have?
I live in Hong Kong and it feels like most American fast food here involves oil and deep fried food. Then I remembered at one point HK local fast food were full of MSGs.
It led me to this question. What is your local fast food obsessed with? It can be an ingredient, spice, sauce, cooking method, etc.

That's convinient. I always carry a small can on me for emergencies.
MSG was so prevalent until people said it was bad. One of our local fast food chain restaurants still has a "No MSG" poster in some of their branches.
MSG is just a kind of salt. It's absolutely fine and one guy basically said "I always get a headache after eating Chinese food, it must be those darn Chinese people's fault" and created a completely bullshit study out of nowhere and the health food nuts jumped on it and now here we are and even in China MSG has become a dirty word.

tldr: food tastes better with a little MSG and there's no link between it and any known health issue.
That's terrible slander. At least you know which restaurants to avoid!
