What Parents Need to Know
About Andrew Zimmern's Bizarre World
Parents need to know that this series -- in which host Andrew Zimmern partakes in unusual (by American standards) dietary choices like jungle rats and raw pig brains-- isn’t for the faint of heart ... or stomach. It's a little more intense than Zimmern's previous series, Bizarre Foods, as Zimmern also joins in on some traditional rituals that involve killing or injuring animals and, in at least one case, using their blood as a cleansing agent on his body. Young kids will have trouble grasping the cultural meaning of what they see, but for tweens and teens, this intriguing series is an eye-opening introduction to the world’s cultural diversity.

Tweens: Does this series inspire you to see new places and meet new people? If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?
