maybe im being overly senstive about this. but i've also found the title and the concept of this show to be rather ethnocentric or racism is someway. i mean why call it bizzare foods? i mean to the people of those country those aren't strange food but rather a facet of their culture? so what are they trying to say? is their culture bizarre? to who's standard? | |

To the standard of the white American who is traveling the world, eating stuff that is often only ingested by a minority of the populace in those countries. He makes that abundantly clear on the show, and when that's not the case he always explains that it's perfectly normal to the people of the region he's visiting.
He also gladly tries everything he's given with a smile, respects local customs and goes out of his way to explain why the indigenous peoples he's sharing a meal with eat those foods, as well as why it was, or is, necessary for them to do so.
Lastly, he very regularly makes it clear that most of the rest of the world uses many more of the parts of the animals and plants they farm than the increidbly wasteful United States. So, yeah, IMO you may be being overly sensitive about this. | |
