"In his life as a chef and as the lead of several beloved, culinary-focused travel shows, Bourdain ate more than his fair share of unusual foods, including a warthog anus in Namibia, which he imbibed after being offered the tough, chewy, grilled meat as a guest of honor. Later, Bourdain mentioned that if he was given a choice between eating warthog anus again or a chicken McNugget, he would gladly opt for the McNugget."
"He even memorably decried fast-food culture as a whole as "the enemy," in an article for The Guardian. Bourdain was never shy about criticizing the fast food giants either, including pretending that famed clown mascot Ronald McDonald was abducting children to dissuade his daughter from becoming a fan of McDonalds, calling it a "campaign of psychological warfare.""
Anthony Bourdain expressed strong contempt for fast-food culture and specifically for McDonald's chicken McNuggets. He criticized fast-food mascots and marketing tactics, describing some strategies as a form of psychological warfare. Bourdain consumed extreme and unusual foods during his travels yet noted a paradox: he sometimes preferred familiar fast-food items to bizarre regional specialties while remaining skeptical of processed-food contents. McNuggets provoked particular suspicion because their composition and many listed ingredients made their contents seem mysterious despite corporate claims about predominant white meat and absence of artificial flavors or preservatives.
