The Next Thing You Eat

I had really high hopes for this series, but I couldn't make it past the first few minutes due to all the swearing. Is that really part of his branding? It's just impossible for me to take this guy seriously. Maybe David Chang is under the impression that swearing elevates his "street cred" among the target audience - young urban kids ('yukkies'). He sounds like a pre-teen trying to appear edgy and "tough" in front of older high school kids by dropping F-bombs as much as possible. In reality, peppering your language with expletives only results in having all your credibility and respectability thrown out the window. It might be an interesting series; too bad it panders to the gutter-mouth, trash talkin', ghetto 'hood mentality. It leaves a bad taste in your mouth and is wholly unappetizing. Skip it.

Really?!? Be an adult and expand your vocabulary, so you can create something everyone can watch. Really interesting topic, which makes it even more sad. If it wasn't peppered with this guy's attempts to fit in with the cool crowd, I'm sure it would have been a great show. Unfortunately, I didn't make it past the first episode out of sheer annoyance.

This might have been interesting. But 60 seconds into the first episode we've got an F-bomb along with several other swear words. Why?

This review is based on that 60 seconds only. So if you're OK with unnecessary profanity, you might enjoy this. I'm not OK with unnecessary profanity, so I'm out.

The show brings up the heavy subjects of our soon to be reality where meat, fish and dairy-industries have become too unsustainable and too little to feed the very fast population of humans on this world.

It's just too bad the makers of the show continue to make excuses to continue their own contribution to the habits of eating meat as an example.

You might hope they would start to actually implement these changes we all need to do in our daily life. Especially being restaurant owners and influencers on how and what to eat.

I really like David Chang, in this series you also see him confronting the issue of climate change head on. Which is interesting and good. And I guess you also see the human psyche trying to cope with it. The anxiety that comes along with it. It just would've been nice to see him actually go "Ok thats it, I'm using lab fish. No more ocean fishing." when they try it and actually say "99,9% of th people would never know the difference when they ate it".

Good series overall I just wish it'd actually make them take that extra step we all rather soon have to take.

Have ya'll ever talked to a chef in real life? Good, interesting show. Fun to watch and think about. It explores different trends in cooking and discusses some of their rammifications.
