I have always been super fascinated
at humans ability to adapt.
We are so good at holding, on to the
things that make us, you know, who we are.
But if there's anything that can throw
a wrench, and then idea probably 2020,
but you do have to admit.
It is pretty awesome.
Seeing people globally, just sort
of figure out new ways to survive.
Let's just take a second as an example,
and we'll get Lebanon,
but I'm going to warn you.
If you're a vegetarian, this
is probably going to be rough.
Since October, 2019, Lebanon has been
on the verge of economic collapse,
for months, protesters
filled Beirut streets,
demanding an end to the government
corruption. They blame for inflation,
soaring unemployment and
unaffordable food prices.
The pandemic only made
the situation worse.
Now, this crisis upon a crisis is even
changing the way Lebanese people eat.
There's animal is double this way.
Enter velocity, but let's
check on the limonene.
Resembles amaro's, Kazuma.
Well, after you buy up your alley.
Anxiety about money has never been
higher meaning. For many Lebanese
meat is now only for special occasions.
Like today,
when Muslims are preparing
to celebrate Eid al-adha,
the Feast of the sacrifice traditionally
that sacrifice is a sheep butchered
based on Islamic law to be plan
for outside. The butcher shop, these
guys try to make a run for it, but
unluckily for them. They were caught.
The plan from Slayer,
vegetarian.
What a dumb.
Hey there.
Families. Like the Ridaz who can
still afford a lamb for the holiday
are paying double what they
did for sheep last year.
100% increase in the poverty rate means
life is changed for most in Beirut.
Lot of even France want to Lodge
a celebrity chef who's hosted his own
daily cooking show for the last 30 years.
Yeah, and actually just go to
my worry analogies will carry
me to do, people carry in
our body,
but they can additionally it will match
back to live. Nearly had to look around
and let me yeah. Headquarter
on Olivia. I'm sorry.
It going bye-bye.
Lebanon's, dire situation
got even worse in August.
When a massive explosion in
Beirut killed more than 190 people
caused billions of
dollars in property damage
and destroyed the country's largest port.
Lebanon, had depended on that
port to bring an 80% of its food
that Reliance on imported food had already
driven some people to find Solutions
Beyond just switching
their diets. I'm going like
I think more than 100 types of
foods such as trees, avocados.
Mongo's,
Carrie Manhattan was a cafe on her Beirut
before closing up his shop
and returning to his hometown.
My decision to come back was.
Merely for just security.
I found that really futile to try to seek
a flow of income
so I can use that and
come and spend it on food
while I can actually just grow my own.
So here's my lab, that's a sample
of the things we process in stock.
I Clans cucumbers and
matter because some herbes.
I don't believe a lot
of people are content.
They're not satisfied. And they want
to continue affording meat and chicken
almost on a daily basis, which is
so unhealthy and it's abnormal.
The system is setting us up for
failure and they're stretching it out
as much as possible. They're
milking us to the last penny.
I really fear for the future. I don't
think we have a bright future coming.
You don't have a choice either. You
sit and you fight or just migrate live.
