This is a video from a serie of videos about a man who travels around the world discovering the different foods and cultures. In this one, the man goes to Chernobyl , in Ukraine, where the radiation reachs high levels that people are not allowed to eat aliments from a restricted zone beacuse they are contaminated . The man talks with people that live in side the forbidden radio , an old couple that have animals, fruit trees and plants and they live in a shack. They mustn't eat those aliments because of the radiation, but they say that they have been living there for 20 years eating that and they are perfectly sane. The man interview some experts and people living out of the danger zone too. Inhabitants think that there's no more danger because the catastrophe was a long time ago, but they still don't eat food from the interior of the danger limit.

This video has impacted me a lot. Is pretty sad to see all these abandoned places, all ruined, and I remember the catastrophe that happened there and really moves me. I would never eat food from inside the zone, that radiation is still there and it could have bad side effects that perjudice your health. I would never live there, is too dramatic and I wouldn't like to see that wrecked landscape everyday.
