Andrew Zimmern has a new series, “What’s Eating America,” which debuts tonight (16th).

It's not about bizarre food. Is more of an investigative/opinion show.

Trigger warning: It's on MSNBC, and the first five topics are immigration, climate change, addiction, voter suppression and health care.

The addiction one could be interesting. He's talked before about being a junkie. A WaPo article says it's "a painfully raw and often moving hour in which Zimmern lays out his own battle with drugs and alcohol."

He's no longer on Travel Channel (now Trvl Channel), which has shifted its programming to focus on ghosts, monsters and the paranormal. [Another sign the idiocracy is happening.]

He’s very smug for a former junkie

If he's not eating fermented donkey balls and pickled toenails, then count me the frick out.

I am confident it will be a balanced presentation.

Always liked Zimmern but don’t want to hear his take on politics.

Anyone that liked zimmerns shows should check out best ever food review show on YouTube. Top notch production and the sort of follow the same style as zimmern did back in the day.

The first episode was really good, IMO....impossible to argue with what they were putting down. Immigrant workers are key to our food production.

Ah, the TLC formerly know as The Learning Channel path.

Obviously, Zimmern wants to be Bourdain. Bourdain could get away with being political because he always was until he couldn't get away with it any more.
