Recently the EAT Lancet report suggested that there is an ideal diet for 10 billion people on the planet by 2050, and it's one with minuscule amounts of meat, and way more of everything else. With the challenges of climate change, how we sustainably feed ourselves is a huge question.
At the recent UN summit, 15-year-old Greta Thunberg said that grown-ups had messed up the world. In this video, I try to give a different perspective - one that goes to common ground, rather than turning important issues into "us versus them".
