99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I have always been super fascinated
at humans ability to adapt.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We are so good at holding, on to the
things that make us, you know, who we are.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But if there's anything that can throw
a wrench, and then idea probably 2020,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but you do have to admit.
It is pretty awesome.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Seeing people globally, just sort
of figure out new ways to survive.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Let's just take a second as an example,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and we'll get Lebanon,
but I'm going to warn you.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you're a vegetarian, this
is probably going to be rough.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Since October, 2019, Lebanon has been
on the verge of economic collapse,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for months, protesters
filled Beirut streets,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
demanding an end to the government
corruption. They blame for inflation,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
soaring unemployment and
unaffordable food prices.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The pandemic only made
the situation worse.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now, this crisis upon a crisis is even
changing the way Lebanese people eat.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There's animal is double this way.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Enter velocity, but let's
check on the limonene.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Resembles amaro's, Kazuma.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Well, after you buy up your alley.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Anxiety about money has never been
higher meaning. For many Lebanese

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
meat is now only for special occasions.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Like today,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
when Muslims are preparing
to celebrate Eid al-adha,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the Feast of the sacrifice traditionally

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that sacrifice is a sheep butchered
based on Islamic law to be plan

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for outside. The butcher shop, these
guys try to make a run for it, but

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
unluckily for them. They were caught.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The plan from Slayer,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
vegetarian.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What a dumb.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Hey there.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Families. Like the Ridaz who can
still afford a lamb for the holiday

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
are paying double what they
did for sheep last year.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
100% increase in the poverty rate means
life is changed for most in Beirut.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lot of even France want to Lodge

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a celebrity chef who's hosted his own
daily cooking show for the last 30 years.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Yeah, and actually just go to
my worry analogies will carry

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
me to do, people carry in

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
our body,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but they can additionally it will match
back to live. Nearly had to look around

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and let me yeah. Headquarter
on Olivia. I'm sorry.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It going bye-bye.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lebanon's, dire situation
got even worse in August.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When a massive explosion in
Beirut killed more than 190 people

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
caused billions of
dollars in property damage

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and destroyed the country's largest port.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Lebanon, had depended on that
port to bring an 80% of its food

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that Reliance on imported food had already
driven some people to find Solutions

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Beyond just switching
their diets. I'm going like

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I think more than 100 types of
foods such as trees, avocados.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Mongo's,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Carrie Manhattan was a cafe on her Beirut

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
before closing up his shop
and returning to his hometown.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
My decision to come back was.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Merely for just security.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I found that really futile to try to seek

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a flow of income

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so I can use that and
come and spend it on food

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
while I can actually just grow my own.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So here's my lab, that's a sample
of the things we process in stock.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I Clans cucumbers and
matter because some herbes.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I don't believe a lot
of people are content.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They're not satisfied. And they want
to continue affording meat and chicken

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
almost on a daily basis, which is
so unhealthy and it's abnormal.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The system is setting us up for
failure and they're stretching it out

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
as much as possible. They're
milking us to the last penny.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I really fear for the future. I don't
think we have a bright future coming.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You don't have a choice either. You
sit and you fight or just migrate live.
