The Food Expert: This Diet Slowly Kills You - Avoid These Meals! | Sonny Food Review

**SPEAKER_1** (0:01)
It's okay to want an abortion. Did you know one in four people who can get pregnant will have one? So it's actually more common than most people think. At Careafim, you can choose what type of abortion care works best for you. We have in-person locations with private entrances in Atlanta, Chicago and the Washington DC areas. And we also offer medically supported abortion pills by mail in 20 states. For some people, it's more comforting to come into a private office where they can sit with one of our medical providers and either leave no longer pregnant or with abortion pills in hand. For others, they prefer to get abortion pills through the mail so they can decide the best time and place to complete the process. Getting abortion pills by mail from Careafim is simple. Fill out an online form, and a licensed provider will review your medical history. And if eligible, your medication will be shipped to you in a couple of days. CARA, our text-based abortion companion, will guide you through the process from start to finish, with instructions, reminders, and answers to all your questions whenever they come up 24-7. With either choice, please know CARAFIM will support you every step of the way. Learn more at carafim.org.

Most of the joy in my life comes from food. I've been to 60-plus countries at this point. I've eaten a lot of delicious food, but I've also eaten a lot of questionable foods.

**Jack Selby** (1:27)
Is there anything you won't eat?

**Sonny** (1:29)
The symptoms I should be worried about after eating this is like suddenly my muscles aren't working. I can't move. Yes. Um, no, I don't think so.
The mission of our channel is to search out and document the most unique cultures and unique foods from around the world. Tomorrow, I'm traveling to Afghanistan. This is the food that you have to risk being kidnapped in order to try.

**Jack Selby** (1:50)
Why?

**Sonny** (1:52)
That's a good question. Food is something that binds us all. It's something that we all do. So as a channel, I just want to push further and show people more that's out there.

**Graham Stephan** (2:03)
How do you justify playing with your life on the line?

**Sonny** (2:07)
Oh, because usually I don't think I'm going to.

**Graham Stephan** (2:10)
Under tolerance, to be honest, the cure is quite good. Have you ever eaten anything illegal?

**Sonny** (2:15)
Um, so.

**Graham Stephan** (2:23)
Sonny, you run one of the most popular food review channels on YouTube. It's absolutely bingeable content. I love it. Thank you so much for coming on The Iced Coffee Hour.

**Sonny** (2:32)
Thank you for having me. I also want to say a huge thank you to Joshua Weissman for connecting us. Yes. So I didn't actually care if you said no to me, because I approached you about being on the podcast, but I at least wanted you to know I was asking, and Joshua facilitated that, so that's great. That's so cool.

**Jack Selby** (2:47)
That's an honor. No, I've been starting to binge your content lately.
Some of it really makes me nauseous, I'm going to be honest. Yeah, I get queasy. It's hard to watch.

**Sonny** (2:57)
Thank you.

**Jack Selby** (2:58)
I'm curious, what's the most dangerous food that you've eaten?

**Sonny** (3:01)
Oh, wow, right off the bat. Dangerous. Well, dangerous how? Oh, I'll tell you something we just published. And this is, it fits the danger criteria exactly. Oh, this is a crazy story. So we were just in Borneo. Borneo is the largest island in all of Asia, and I believe the third largest in the world.
And there they have a food known as puffer fish. Now, in Japan, they call it fugu, and you've probably, everyone's heard of fugu. It started with the Simpsons episode, and the lore is that in Japan, they have to get a special certificate in order to serve fugu because it's poisonous, and if you serve it or prepare it in the wrong way, people will die and people die every year from this, even in Japan. But I didn't eat it in Japan. I ate it in Malaysian Borneo. And so we were with the Bajau people. These are a tribe of people, an ethnic group knowing for living on the water. If you've ever heard about these YouTube videos, people who can hold their breath for like seven or nine minutes, these are the people.

**Graham Stephan** (3:59)
Is that real?

**Jack Selby** (4:00)
Yes.

**Sonny** (4:01)
Yes. And so these people, they caught a puffer fish and they prepared the puffer fish for me. Now, why is it more dangerous? Well, there's no certificate. There's just an old lady in the village who promised she had never fucked anybody. That's it. The scary part about all this is I ate the food. And then I found out some information afterwards during editing that I didn't know during filming, which would have affected whether or not I ate the food in the first place. So she cooked the food, I ate it, and after about four bites, I felt my mouth going a little bit numb and I was tingling and I felt like this isn't good. By the way, the way you get from this is you get paralyzed.
