What Parents Need to Know
About Extreme Cuisine with Jeff Corwin
Parents need to know that this reality/food series -- in which biologist Jeff Corwin explores delicacies from around the world -- includes a bit of very mild sexual innuendo that will go over kids' head and infrequent uses of words like "ass." Alcohol is used to prepare meals, some episodes talk about how alcoholic beverages are produced, and wine and local liquors are often consumed during meals. While the series isn’t violent, some very young or sensitive viewers might get squeamish during scenes of how some of the traditional delicacies are prepared and consumed (which can include seeing animals skinned and dissected).
