    🥒 ABOUT BEFRS:
    Hey, I’m Sonny! I’m from the US but currently call Vietnam home. I’ve been living in Asia for 10 years and started making food and travel videos to document my experiences. I travel to different parts of the world, hunting down and documenting the most unique food each country has to offer.
    If you see any factual food errors in my videos, please feel free to politely let me know in the comments. I'm a huge fan of trying different, interesting foods in each country. My show is from a Western point of view, but more importantly, MY point of view. It is not meant to offend any person or culture.

      Also eating bugs IS gross but to say that's being disrespectful is just you being a weak child which is literally what I said from the beginning. So I have explained this quite thoroughly and the only one getting upset is you.

      Anyhow, ‘nature’ is more than just plants, trees and flowers (etc). It is all things, the processes of all life. One such process is human creativity, and one such act of creativity is the use of chemicals and preservatives in food. We are not distinct from nature.
