So I work really hard to try to solve hunger and waste issues here in Minnesota, nationally in America and internationally with my work with the UN World Food Program.

But because we do this every day, food is a universal, right?

In every episode of Bizarre Foods, we always had a family meal, every single one.

We didn't put a circle around it.

We didn't put a lower third graphic underneath it.

We didn't flash lights to let everybody know, here's the family meal.

But we always sat down with the family in every single episode and ate.

And the reason why I insisted on that

along with several other storytelling silos.

I wanted a how it was made story.

I wanted to, because I wanted there to be something for everyone to take from this experience in this culture.

And we always had a family dinner episode because I wanted people in Finland to see how people in China ate.

And I wanted people in Uruguay to see how people in China ate.

I wanted people in Arizona to see how people in Uruguay ate.

And I did that very consciously because I wanted people to see how much they had in common with each other in a world that was increasingly defining itself by the things that divided us.

So even though I may speak a different language, have different color skin, worship a different deity, listen to different music, have different sexuality, and on and on and on than whoever I was with, if we were sharing a meal, amazing things could happen, right?

And we would find out that we wound up having way more in common, even though on the face of it, it may appear that we were

very very different people from very very different walks of life yeah i believe our humanity in the general sense of the capital h is what defines us not all of those those other things and i remember being in finland we went up to lapland and we were having a dinner with some reindeer herders

and his family and we did the usual thing you know shots of the reindeer and i was milking a reindeer which is very difficult they give off they have the richest milk in the animal kingdom but they give off the least of it because it's so intense and then we made little pancakes with it we foraged for berries and we gathered crayfish in the river and then we wound up at his family table

With his wife and her parents and he and his wife's kids.
