They aren't so why should I?

I don't watch a fricking food guy to hear him whine about how Donald has destroyed his life.

frick that. I'm not giving them the time of day. I don't see how liberals are unable to understand they need the whole country watching their movies and tv shows.

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.

Well, he must not be too mad at Texas because he's definitely one of the featured chefs at Austin Food + Wine this year.

I can and I do.


That's not what they are doing here according to the OP. It seems they are trying to tie their love of food and food experience to political topics. fricking NPR ran a segment this morning on a California pistachio farmer and his struggle with climate change. Is fricking EVERYTHING tied to climate change?!?! Damn....


Zimmern is a clown and is paid to entertain me. Entertain me clown! If I wanted political theory, I'd turn on CNN or Fox News.

Complicated, the legal system only works for those who do it from the outside...obviously. There’s a whole non-immigrant status class, who work at Tyson, and they don’t get the benefits of citizenship.

It’s a good show. Only one time did specifically mention Trump’s rhetoric...and yea what are Mexican immigrant workers supposed to say? He stoking nationalism...but literally no Americans will pick strawberries for $2.50 a box, which is like 16 containers.

The issue is a relevant one...and both parties are frick sticks about it.

I work in the legal system. I have a decent education.

I have no idea what the first sentence means in English.

I have close friends/family with relatives through central Europe and Asia. Some of those folks wish to come here...immigrate...legally. It's a lengthy process...they stand in line for years. I'm not okay with anyone breaking line.

Legal = migrant in this case, or that’s what I was attempting to say. They are completely legal to work here, and the company must provide food and housing. One field over there are workers ‘with papers’ who make a bit more, don’t get housing...and definitely didn’t want to be filmed for the show.

They provide papers, and the companies don’t police the validity of them...just turn that information into the government agencies who ask for them. If they got pulled over by ICE I assume it would be a completely different story. = Illegal
